Diane RASLEY Obituary

June 1, 1951 - September 14, 2023

Woodinville - Diane Rasley passed away in Kirkland, WA, on September 14, 2023. Diane was born on June 1, 1951, in Great Falls, MT, and was adopted two weeks later by Glenna and Al Meng in Spokane, WA, where she grew up.

Diane was funny, passionate, loving, and an incredibly thoughtful person. A wonderful chef, friend, mother, and grandma. She was married to Tom, the love of her life for over 50 years. The two had one beloved son and two precious granddaughters who were the light of her life.

She is deeply missed and survived by her husband, Tom; son, Jeff (Danielle); granddaughters, Ellie and Elizabeth; brother, Tom (Evelyn); brother, Chris; and countless family and close friends.

Diane will be honored at a celebration of life at Fete/Nectar Catering and Events at 120 N. Stevens in Spokane, WA, on Sunday, October 15, 2023, from 4pm to 8pm. In lieu of flowers, we ask you to make a donation in her name to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA.

Diane was a wonderful and lovely coworker. Her cubical was close enough to mine that I could hear her every day on the phone to her father who she loved immensely! I will always remember our sweet Diane and her snow-white hair that I was so envious of.
