whom she devoted the last years of her life to serving in various ways through her local church.

painting florals. Diane loved angels and was known for her large collection of them in her home.

guests commented on the painted blue walls in their home.

and helped with the special needs children's ministry. Diane also donated meals, groceries, her
time, and love to those in need.
