Dianne graduated from Bangor High School with the class of 1971. She began her career in retail at Harding's Market in Bangor before moving to Harding's, D&W, and finally Village Market, all in South Haven.

Dianne dedicated her life to serving the community of South Haven. When she wasn't serving the community, she was caring for her husband, lovingly known as "Little Tommy," along with other family members. Her pride and joy were her grandsons, with whom she shared special bonds. Anyone who knew her has heard countless stories about them. Dianne was very close to her siblings and cherished the time spent with her lifelong friends. She always put a smile on everyone's face and will be remembered for her compassion, sense of humor, and generosity.

Dianne was known for always having food available and for her unique campfire songs, often performed with a wax paper and comb. Her legacy of love and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
