Diane (Cordone) Dzikiewicz, 75, of Rocky Hill and formerly of Wethersfield and Cromwell, passed away peacefully at Hartford Hospital on March 22, 2021 after battling lung cancer over the last 10 months. Diane was born on July 23, 1945 to the late Francis and Lillian (Marks) Cordone. She married her best friend Gary on April 2, 1965. Together they raised their two children in Rocky Hill. Diane was an avid fan of the New York Yankees, UCONN Huskies basketball, Connecticut Sun, and the Dallas Cowboys. In her spare time, Diane loved to golf, bowl, and visit Mohegan Sun Casino where she attended concerts of her favorite artists. Diane is survived by her devoted and loving husband of 56 years, Gary, and her children Tom Dzikiewicz (Sue) and Shari Mecca (Scott) and her three grandchildren, Steven (Dan) and Matthew (Nicole) Dzikiewicz, and Justin Mecca. Diane also leaves behind many friends, neighbors, and family, including her Blackledge Country Club family. She was predeceased by her parents Francis and Lillian Cordone, her sister Pamela Cordone, her brothers-in-law Paul Dzikiewicz and Daniel Giliberto, and her daughter-in-law, Traci Dzikiewicz. The family would like to thank the staff from Hartford Hospital and Hartford HealthCare at Home for their love and care over the last five months. Friends and family may call to Rose Hill Funeral Home, 580 Elm St., Rocky Hill on Friday, March 26th from 10:00-11:00 am. Graveside Service and burial will follow.

Our dear Diane....we are all feeling the emptiness. For 22 years, our golf foursome found happiness together at the course. Diane brought her special dimension to our group: that amazingly consistent swing, and her insightful comments about the topic of the day. Always sporting her latest golf outfit with shoes to match, she was such an integral part of our day. Diane’s presence remains, and will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers to Gary, Shari and Scott, Tom and Sue, Justin, Matt and Steven, along with her second family at Blackledge. We all benefited from having Diane in our lives. We’ll see you at that big course in the sky, along with the casino and bowling alley next door❣

RIP - I enjoyed meeting and at times playing golf with Diane. I was always impressed with her ability to complete a full backswing that always resulted in a strike on the ball. It ain't easy to do that but she did it! We will miss her at the course. Condolences to all.
