Diane Fishman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Anderson McQueen Funeral Homes on Mar. 23, 2026.
Diane Fishman passed away on March 15, 2026, at the age of 74, in Charlotte, NC, leaving behind many broken hearts among all who loved her.

She was born on August 10, 1951, in Des Moines, IA, and lived a life full of warmth, laughter, and love.

Diane was a beloved wife, an amazing mother, an adored grandmother, an incredible daughter and sister, and a friend to many.

She had a gift for making everyone around her feel cherished, and her fun-loving, generous, and one-of-a-kind spirit left a lasting mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her. She found great joy in traveling, boating, reading, and - above all - spending time with her friends and family, especially her grandkids.

Diane was preceded in death by her husband, Morris Fishman, and her father, Russell Morris. She is forever remembered and deeply missed by her three children: Josh Fishman (wife Denise), Stacey Marotta (husband Bryan), and Jeremy Fishman (wife Angie); her five grandchildren: Jordan Fishman, Kadie Fishman, Conner Fishman, Emma Fishman, and Madison Marotta; her mother, Gladys Morris; and her brothers: John Poland (wife Paula), Mike Poland (wife Denise), Dave Poland (wife Teresa), and Rick Clark (wife Karen).
