At Diane's request, her body will be donated to Upstate Medical University for the advancement of science. The family would like to thank Melissa Morris, NP and Dr. Abi Siva for their knowledgeable, compassionate care.
Graveside funeral services are under the direction of Audioun Funeral Home and will be held at a later time. All heartfelt donations may be made to the Cayuga County SPCA in Diane's honor.
