Diana McNally Obituary

Janesville, WI - Diana Lynn McNally, age 68, passed away peacefully on the morning of August 13, 2025. Diana was born to John Floyd and Caroline V. McNally on May 17, 1957. She graduated from Craig High School in Janesville with the class of 1975. She recently celebrated with her classmates at their 50th high school reunion. Post high school, she attended UW-Madison and Blackhawk Technical College.



After a brief career as a home healthcare aid, she began a 30-year career with Edy's Ice Cream; 25 of those years were spent in New Jersey. While in Wisconsin, she was awarded the Rookie Sales Person of The Year; and the following year she was awarded Sales Person of The Year. Her career took her to the east coast where she was part of the team that successfully opened The New York Market, the most competitive market in the United States.

When her Edy's career ended, she returned to Janesville and was employed by Sam's Club and Kwik Trip. She enjoyed all things shopping and loved cats. Diana was a hardworking, strong-headed woman. Her friends and family will miss her dearly.

Diana is survived by her siblings: Susan (Bill) Gerace, Danny (Jane) McNally, and Debbie (Bob) McNally; and many other loving friends and family keeping her memories alive.
