Diane Underwood Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Diane Underwood, 74, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2025, in Orlando, Florida. Born on July 11, 1951, in Liverpool, England, Diane brought warmth and joy to those around her throughout life.

Diane was the beloved wife of Jesus "Mike" Underwood and a devoted mother to her late son, Paul Anthony Lawrenson. She was the cherished daughter of Ida and Thomas, both of whom preceded her in death.

She is lovingly remembered by her sister, Patricia Lawrenson; brother, Stephen Lawrenson; her sister-in-law Doreen; nephew Stephen Thomas Lawrenson and family; niece, Gemma Irene Bain and family. Diane also leaves behind a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins as well as many dear friends in the United Kingdom. Each held a special place in her heart.

Throughout her life, Diane embraced many passions. She found joy in baking delicious treats for loved ones, tending to her garden with care and creativity, exploring new places through travel, and immersing herself in music that lifted the spirit. Her sense of humor and deep compassion made her a treasured presence among family and friends.

Raised in the Catholic faith, Diane later found spiritual fulfillment through the practice of Buddhism in her later years- a reflection of her open heart and thoughtful nature.

Diane's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. May her legacy of love and laughter continue to inspire those she touched. A Memorial Service will be held on November 7, 2025, from 02:00 PM to 03:00 PM at Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home: 1654 N Semoran Blvd.
