Dianne loved teaching and adored every single one of her students. She was well loved by her school family and the numerous children she encountered. Dianne’s greatest love was for her family. She was devoted to them, nurtured them, and made sure no one ever left her house hungry. Gram is going to be deeply missed by everyone.
