Diane Corder Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 5, 2024.
Diane Elise Corder, 69, passed away on July 31, 2024, in Long Grove, IL. Born on July 20, 1955 she grew up in Winthrop Harbor, IL. Diane was known for her great sense of humor and razor-sharp wit. She had an immense love for animals, especially dogs, and enjoyed watching birds at her bird feeder. Diane maintained a very close circle of friends, whom she had known since grade school. Her dog Emma was by her side until she was hospitalized in November 2023. She was an avid lover of all types of music.

Diane was preceded in death by her parents, Virginia and Charles Corder, and her brother, Brian Corder. She is survived by her cousin and caregiver, Betsy Evans, along with nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Diane's career began at Illinois Bell Telephone Co as a directory assistance operator and ended working for Northwestern Medical Network in the Imagining Department.

Diane will always be remembered for her infectious laugh and great smile, and will be missed by many. A memorial in her honor is being planned, TBA.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to cancer research in memory of Diane's compassionate spirit and her enduring desire to help others.

Diane I know you went nonstop to Heaven and celebrating your homecoming with your loved ones. For over 40 years of our friendship I found you to be a kind and caring person with so much love and compassion for friends and family...and fur babies. We were neighbors, co-workers with MaBell and friends...rest Diane ...you have been through a tough journey with a smile on your face...till we meet again my friend. Irene

I will always remember your keen sense of humor and always making me laugh!
I will remember your smile and love for all of us Harbor girls and all of your thoughtful gifts from all of our Christmas parties over the last 40 years or so. I will treasure them forever. Until we meet again..... love, Lorrie
