Diane Walton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 3 to Nov. 5, 2022.
Diane Bernadette (Estrella) Walton, 75, of Oakdale passed away on Saturday, October 29, 2022 after a courageous and hard fought battle against uterine cancer. Diane was a loving mother, wife, sister, and friend. Her infectious laugh, good sense of humor, and aloha will be missed by all. She will always be with us in spirit and will forever be in our hearts.

The family will hold a private ceremony to celebrate her life and bring her back to Hawaii. This is not a goodbye, but rather a hui hou (until we meet again).

Diane was preceded in death by her husband Randy Walton. She is survived by her 2 daughters Alana (Gabriel) Galo, Erica (Roberto) Escobar, 3 grandchildren, Kayla, Dominic, and Connor, sister Loretta (Charles Vernon II) Pokipala, and brother Earl Estrella, as well as many nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

I met Diane in 2008 on a fall photography trip with her husband Randy. So sorry to hear about her passing. She is with Randy now and in peace.

I love you aunt Diane! You always had this little smirk that always warmed my heart! I am sad that you are gone but beyond happy that you aren´t suffering anymore and you are up there with uncle randy and my dad and grandpa and grandma. I love you until we meet again!
