Diane Pugh Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 30, 2025.
Diane Carolyn Pugh, 82, of Tracy, California, passed away peacefully on September 8, 2025.

Diane was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and woman of deep faith. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Harry Pugh, with whom she shared a life of love, resilience, and family.

She is survived by her five children-Cathy, Elizabeth, Dan, Josh, and James-along with her cherished grandchildren: Tamara, Kaitlin, Melissa, Joshua, Madison, Ashley, Hailey, Avah, and Roman. Her family was her greatest joy, and her legacy of love, strength, and faith will continue to live on through them.

A faithful member of the Catholic Church, Diane's devotion to God was the cornerstone of her life. She faced many challenges, particularly with her health, yet she overcame them with unwavering courage and grace. Those who knew her will remember her as one of the strongest individuals they ever met-compassionate and filled with wisdom.

She loved to share her wonderful stories, and her warmth and spirit touched all who had the blessing of knowing her. Diane will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts of her family and friends.

Funeral and memorial service details will be shared with family and friends.
