Diane, It was just the two of us left on the Shelton side of the family and when God called, you had to go and leave me.

Diane and I were co-workers at the ESL City Hall for over 35 years. She had a certain style about herself. Always composed, pleasing personality and a contagious laugh. To the Family...May you have fond memories and celebrate a life well lived.

Diane,
We have been friends for over 40 years; through good and bad times. Our Scrabble games were so challenging Robert had to referee. I can say you will truly be missed and I can hear your voice saying to me, "I beat you Girly" to heaven.
Love,
Audrey J. Neely

Diane was a good friend. We shared good and bad times, but she loved to laugh, even during the storms.. So blessed God allowed our paths to cross. She was a wonderful lady! Diane is ok... her faith was firmly grounded. Our prayers are with the family.

Having known Diane for many years, from co-worker in the 70's to a life-long friend, I can say that she'll truly be missed. We shared good times and bad times, but supported each other (and our families) through thick and thin. She was a very precious friend. May she forever rest in peace.
