She had been employed as a chef with Maple Grove Rest Home. Diane was a very committed wife, mother and grandmother. Her passion was in making quilts for her family and close friends. She also made sure that every family member received a lovingly sewed and stitched Raggedy Ann and Andy Doll. Diane often thought of others and this showed through her passion for quilting. She was especially proud of the American Flag quilt that she made and then donated to a fund raiser to help her grandchild’s school in Oregon. Her heart went out to others unconditionally whether sewing neck warmers for the troops in Iraq or making quilts for the children of inmates in prison. Diane was a very loving and caring person who will be missed by those she knew and even those she had never met but helped through her loving, kindness and caring.
