It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Dianne Carol Samuels, who left us peacefully on February 22, 2026, at the age of 74. Dianne was born on December 17, 1951, in Maryland.
Dianne is survived by her loving husband, Wayne H. Samuels, and her dear sons Michael Samuels (wife Pamela) and the late Gregory Samuels. Dianne was also the proud grandmother of Devin, Cayden, and Mason. Beloved sister to Anthony William Uphoff Jr, along with many loving family and friends.
Her strong faith was an essential part of her life, as she actively participated in the choir at St. Luke's Lutheran and Prince of Peace. Dianne was also passionate about donating to causes close to her heart, including the SPCA and the WW program, and she treasured her time as a member of the Red Hatters. Dianne also adored her pets, Coco, Rosie, and Prissy, who brought her immense joy.
A public viewing will be held at Connelly Funeral Home of Dundalk on Friday February 27, 2026, from 11:00-12:00 pm, followed by a funeral service at noon. Dianne will then be laid to rest in a graveside ceremony at Holly Hill Memorial Gardens.
