I am very privileged to have known Dianne. I first met her over 35-40 years ago. When I met her again years later, she remembered who I was and was always a treasure to talk to. She will be missed by her loving family, but we all know she is no longer in pain & will now live gloriously with our Lord. May all the memories help heal the hearts of the ones left behind..

She never forgot a face
Dianne would always remind me that what I was eating or drinking had sugar in it, followed by a little giggle. Dianne will be forever remembered.
Our houghts and prayers are going out to the family
I have been thinking about how to put into words how much Dianne means to me. I literally grew up around her entire family. We were all a part of the neighborhood kids and she has been a part of my life for a very long time. She had a sparkling personality and I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile…and it was contagious. You just couldn’t be in a bad mood around Dianne. She loved to tease and her favorite saying to me was “duh, Donna”. We all need to be more like her. It would be a much better world for sure. I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend her service as we are out of state, but know that I am there in spirit. Heaven got a pretty special angel. I will miss you Dianne.
Dear Joan and family,
We were very sorry to learn of Dianne’s passing, she will be missed by many who surrounded her. Unfortunately we are many miles away or would have been there for you all. I believe I was there to welcome Dianne and Denice, along with you and Russell the day she arrived home from the hospital. And if I remember for many days to follow. I cannot believe that would be 48 years ago, how time flies. This is sending you our thoughts , prayers and love during this difficult time. I would have sent a card and letter, however I do not know your address, so lets hope this reaches you all.
Fondly,
Tom and Elaine Ferguson
For years I always enjoyed sharing the ride with Dianne to school on the bus driven by her dad to Stanwood. Number 1 bus as I recall. She was always special to everyone and I’m sure she has a special place in heaven. Deepest condolences to your family.
