Diane Cronin

Diane Cronin passed away peacefully on April 21, 2025 at the age of 80. Born in Massachusetts, Diane experienced an early loss with the passing of her father during infancy. Her mother, Marie, courageously relocated to Philadelphia, where she raised Diane and her brother Robert.
Diane built a successful career as a Repair Representative, working with car dealerships throughout the Philadelphia area before moving to Detroit. There, she continued her career as a representative for General Motors where she worked as a Fleet Sales Representative. She proudly earned her bachelor's degree at Northwood University.
After retiring in 2012, Diane began volunteering at the Detroit Zoo, where she found great joy in connecting with visitors and spending time near the animals-especially the kangaroos.
In 2014, Diane met the love of her life, Frank Kuhs, at Panera Bread. Their shared warmth and joy for life blossomed into love, and they were married in 2018. Together, they enjoyed dancing, socializing, and spending time at their favorite local spots like The Alibi in Troy and the Hamlin Pub in Rochester.
Diane was deeply proud of her Irish heritage and never missed a chance to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in true Irish spirit-especially at the Hamlin Pub with Frank by her side. Erin go Bragh, Ireland Forever!
Private services will be held.
