Diane (McGinnis) Pitcher of Stuart, FL 

August 13, 1965 – September 27, 2025

In Loving Memory of Diane Pitcher


Diane (McGinnis) Pitcher, 60, of Stuart, Florida, passed away on September 27, 2025. Born in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, on August 13, 1965, Diane was the youngest of four children of Regina and Robert McGinnis.
If you knew Diane, you knew she was a little ball of sunshine. She had the biggest heart and an even bigger smile. She lived a life filled with love, laughter, and kindness, always making those around her feel welcome. Her presence could brighten any room, and her warmth touched countless lives.
Diane loved traveling, Rick’s prime rib dinners, hosting parties, decorating for the holidays, riding roller coasters, watching her soap operas, and completing her Sunday crossword puzzles. More than anything, she treasured time spent with her family and friends.
She is survived by her daughter, Amber Werle; her loving partner of 20 years, Richard Patrick; and her siblings, Bobby McGinnis, Sharon Baselj, and Carol Rethage.
She will be remembered always for her love, kindness, and joyful spirit.
Details for a memorial service will be shared with family and friends when arrangements are finalized.
