Diane Sabuda Obituary
Diane was a successful businesswoman and an accomplished hairstylist, dedicating herself to her craft from 1966 until her retirement in 2000. Her career was marked by hard work and dedication, but it was her unwavering devotion to her faith and family that truly defined her life. A prayer warrior at heart, Diane prayed continually for her loved ones and extended kindness to anyone in need.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, Alfred; her sons Jeffrey, Mark, and Michael (Jenn); her cherished grandsons Andrew, Carter, Kyle, Jordan, and Matthew; and her brother Kevin Hejna (Sharon). Diane was predeceased by her parents, Matthew Hejna and Reinette Szymanski.
After battling Alzheimer's disease for over five years with grace and strength, Diane found peace in the arms of her Savior. Her legacy of love, faith, and generosity will forever inspire those who knew her.
May Diane's memory bring comfort to all who were blessed to share in her life.
