It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, Dianne Freson, age 77, who passed away on February 3, 2025. She was surrounded by her loving family during her final days.
Born to Paul Troxell & Gertrude Kaveney Troxell on February 9, 1947, Dianne grew up in Norwood, OH and later made her home in Cincinnati, OH where she raised her three children with love, care, and devotion. She cherished her role as a mother, grandmother, and friend.
She leaves behind her three children, Chris (Toral), Pam (Bill), David (Tina) and six grandchildren, Lauryn, Ravi, William, Anya, Lela, and Nathaniel, as well as many cousins and friends who are blessed to have known her.
Dianne's nurturing spirit extended beyond her immediate family. She was a constant source of support, guidance, and unconditional love, always putting the needs of others before her own.
Dianne was deeply active and a devoted member of Good Shepherd Church, where she found both peace and purpose. Her faith was the cornerstone of her life, and her commitment to her church family was unwavering. She touched the lives of many with her kindness, humility, and willingness to serve.
A private funeral service to celebrate Dianne's life will be held at Gate of Heaven Cemetery for immediate family.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Dianne will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her legacy of love, faith, and kindness will live on forever in the hearts of those she touched.
