Before the loss of her vision due to Narrow Angle Glaucoma, Diane could be found in the woods every spring hunting mushrooms. It was her favorite pastime along with card playing. She also loved flowers, especially zinnias. 
She was well known for her wit, storytelling and never backing down from anyone or anything. She was a force to be reckoned with. She loved her family and especially adored her Grandkids and Great grandkids.
