Madame Montana as I remember her taught me French in grades 9-12 at Ild Saybrook Senior High School. I least enjoyed the classes where we left school for café at one of the local restaurants. Mott family I am so sorry for your loss; she was a wonderful caring person and teacher.

I knew Dianne from Old Saybrook schools. In the now Town Hall which was once the Junior High school she put in.a French dinner for students like my older sister and family with red checked tablecloths and a delicious stew. It was my introduction to the talented, emotionally expressive Dianne Mott. It was a relationship with Dianne that weaved decades.

This woman is probably the only public school teacher that stands out in my mind as being someone who I admired, respected and loved. Her work promoting environmental issues and animal rights will be remembered as will her kindness and compassion. I wish she could have lived another 30 years!
You are loved and remembered.

Dianne was a beautiful person who always knew
that love, family and friends are the most important things in life. She truly was a special person. Dianne left many wonderful Adam's students sensitized to the world around them. She taught her students to respect diversity and world cultures as well as to love family, friends, animals and nature. Dianne influenced everyone in a positive way, making the world a better place. Parts of Dianne will always live within all of us. She will be...

Dianne Mott, how I will miss her! This friend of many talents, individualistic and vibrant with energy to spare. Her love of animals and for her language students was tops on her list. And, she had a lovely singing voice, too. A friend such as this comes by rarely in life, and I'll miss knowing she's gone, at home with the Lord now.

Dianne was a gentle soul and lover of all creatures great and small. She had a special place in her heart both for the children she taught and the rescued animals she restored to good health. Those who knew her will always remember a unique and compassionate person who is now home with the spirits who left before her. Dianne, tu restera dans mon coeur pour toujours ❤.
