Dianne K. Maynard

Dianne, I will never forget you or our time together at Michigan Tech. Patti, Rose and Simon remember you too, you were part of our family for those two years. Did Professor Leifer make it to heaven? Hopefully he did. We met in his inorganic chemistry class in summer quarter of 1988: you were repeating it and I flunked and repeated in autumn quarter. As long as I'm alive Dianne, you're still alive, in my heart and I hope you are resting now, and walking along with Joel. Until we meet again...

Happy Birthday Dianne! I do not forget you. You're only 14 days older than me so we both grow older about the same time every year. You were a good friend: I feel bad I didn't take more time to say it over the years. Rest in peace, OK? Gerry, Patti, Rose, Simon and Joel BTW: Joel is wandering around up there in Heaven somewhere, keep an eye out for him. He was a 17yo kid when he came home there, so he's not the little two-year-old you might remember.

Dianne was my classmate at Tech, a special classmate: we were both "non-traditional" students, being 30+ years old late bloomers. She was goofy, fun, and a grinder: college was not easy for us, but we both made. She babysat for our three kids sometimes on a Fri night so my wife and I could go on dates. She lived in a big house halfway up Quincy Hill in Hancock. I met her in Su school in '88 when we both took inorganic chemistry from Dr. Lieffer (we both flunked I think, I know I did,...

RIP, my friend, I always enjoyed our time together at DTE TCHPP !!

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Dianne. On many occasions, Dianne brought her expertise "to the table" and challenged our project teams to think about delivering even higher levels of quality for our customers. Dianne will be truly missed. We are better for having known her and worked with her over the years. Dianne's "work family" will continue to lift you and your loved ones in prayer during this challenging time.

So sorry to hear about this. I enjoyed working and knowing Diane through both our work on DTE projects and the MTU alumni organization. Always professional and knowledgeable, I enjoyed our conversations and will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers for everyone she leaves behind.

To Dianne's family, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Dianne. I enjoyed my conversations with her at the Monroe PAC, especially the ones about her crazy cats and the trips she would take with her niece and the new great niece/nephew she was hoping for (a few years ago). I will certainly keep all of you in my prayers through this difficult time.

Dianne and I sang together at the FBC of Ann Arbor for many years. She always had a way of making me laugh with her acerbic wit. It was fun to almost get into trouble for giggling at this age. RIP Dianne and sympathy to your family and friends.

May God bless you Dan and your family in this time of sorrow.
