Family and friends were Diane's passion and delight. She enjoyed spending summers and vacations with her family traveling abroad and close to home.

She was a creative soul with the gift of laughter which was contagious to many that crossed her path. She was an avid reader, loving mother and entertain during family reunions held in Battle Creek, Michigan.
