Diane E. (Hudson) Damico 1953 - 2021
LITTLE FALLS - Diane Damico, 67, of Little Falls, NY, passed away peacefully at the Siegenthaler Hospice Center, New Hartford, NY, on January 11, 2021, after having spent quality time in-person and over the phone with her beloved family and friends.
Diane was born on June 14, 1953, in Potsdam, NY. She was raised in Illinois and moved, as a teenager, with her parents, David and Dorothy Hudson, to Whitesboro, NY. She graduated from Whitesboro High School, Class of 1971. She worked at various manufacturing plants for many years until retirement.
Diane was very creative and especially enjoyed arts and crafts, including wreath-making and creating the most beautiful diamond paintings. She also enjoyed listening to music, reading and spending time outside. She loved the ocean and talked often about her fond memories of spending time at the beach in Maine. Often one to reminisce, Diane enjoyed sharing memories of times spent at Sackett's Harbor when she was a young girl. Another favorite pastime was spending time on the phone with family and friends, which she did daily and oftentimes, for hours at a time.
Diane was feisty and vivacious, which could be seen in her smile and heard in her laughter.
In February of 2020, Diane was able to connect with her birth family and was subsequently able to meet many of them on a camping trip to Westcott Beach this past summer. She said this was the happiest time of her life.
Diane cherished her daughter, Theresa, who was not only her friend, but also her caregiver. She particularly enjoyed spending time with her family, including her two grandsons, Richard and Leo.
Diane is survived by her loving daughter, Theresa, of Little Falls, NY and much-loved grandsons, Richard and Leo, of Johnstown, NY. She is also survived by two biological brothers, with whom she shared a very close and special bond, David and his wife, Lori and their family, of Rochester, NY and Joe and his wife, Christine and their family, of Watertown, NY; other siblings, Stephen, Rick, Bruce, Walt, Karen and Christine. She is also survived by many friends, including special friends, Jaclyn, Tracy, Nancy and Kathy.
She was predeceased by her parents, David and Dorothy.
