Diane Blackwell Obituary
01/31/1950 - 10/12/2022
Diane Blackwell of Alameda, California, born on the 31st of January, 1950, has passed away suddenly at her home on the 12th of October, 2022. Having recently retired as an insurance broker, Diane was enjoying life with good friends and neighbours, and cat Kiara. Unashamedly idiosyncratic, Diane will be missed by them all as a truly unique individual.
She is survived by her twin sister, Linda Mason, and niece and nephew Jennifer and Benjamin Mason.
Diane had a lifelong love of the water and was a keen scuba diver and explorer. Her ashes will be privately scattered over the bay she called home.
