Diane was employed by Gino J. Merli Veterans Center for 23 years as a CNA. After retiring, Diane's dream was to work with hospice patients. She went to work for the VNA hospice unit. Diane enjoyed all sports and spent time as a track and field coach at Lakeland High School. Diane adopted a highway on Green Grove Road in Scott Twp. near her home and was on the election committee in Justus.

Diane is preceded in death by her loving husband, Steven Adams. Steve was an amazing husband, stepfather, grandfather and friend who loved Diane more than anything.

Diane will always be remembered for living her life with the purpose of caring for her family. Her greatest source of happiness was time spent with her beloved grandchildren, playing games, coloring, talking to them about their numerous sports and attending all of their games. She loved watching them grow up. She was a special grandmother who adapted to all of her grandchildren's personalities and loved them more than anything. Her daughters made her so proud to be a mom.
