BOLIVAR - Dianne M. "Dino" Walla, 57, died Tuesday, December 13, 2022, at Mercy Health - St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital. She was born December 30, 1964, in Youngstown, daughter of Vincent "Bud" and Helen Hochdoerfer Walla.
She attended Boardman High School and Bethel Park High School in Pennsylvania. Dianne received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition/ Dietetics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1988.
