Diane L Parlow

Diane Lathan Parlow passed away peacefully at the age of 87 in Palm Coast, Florida, surrounded by her children. Diane was born to James and Myrtle (Sheen) Lathan in Harrisville, NY on May 20, 1938. She grew up in Watertown, NY and moved to Syracuse for her job at Bell Telephone. While working as a telephone operator, she met the man who would become her husband, Clifford Parlow. In 1985 Diane and her family moved to Palm Coast, FL, where she and Cliff started their business called Cliff Parlow Custom Built Homes. Diane was a loving mother, who was a great cook and baker. She enjoyed watching and shopping on QVC and traveling the country with Cliff in their motor home. Diane is pre-deceased by her husband who passed in 2022, her parents, and brother Bernard Lathan. She is survived by her three children: Jeffrey (Sarah) Parlow of Harriman, TN; Valerie Daus (Alexander) of Belmont, NC; and Catherine Parlow of Palm Coast, along with Diane's siblings, George "Mickey" Lathan (Phyllis); Marjorie Campany (Patrick); James Lathan (Bette). She was also survived by 5 grandchildren: Steffan Daus of Belmont, NC; Emily Sharp (David) of Harriman,TN; Oskar Daus of Belmont, NC; James Parlow (Maddie) of Pittsburgh, PA; and Mason Daus of Belmont, NC; and two great-grandchildren Henley Sharp and Hudson Sharp. Also missing Diane are her faithful feline companion Anderson, and her dear almost grandchild Kadance Schmidt-Alpers. There will not be a service, as anyone who knew Diane knows that she would hate all of this attention.
