She cared for many patients in her lifetime working at Wesley Village until her retirement. To her this wasn't just a job. It was about the people she loved and comforted each day. Caring for her family for whenever someone stopped by, she would make sure you never went home empty handed. Oh, did Diane love shopping and visiting different stores. Diane also knew her way around the kitchen and enjoyed cooking for the holidays and family events. Finally, caring for her loved ones as the time got close for her passing. She cared more for her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, by being strong for them to help keep up their spirits and drive. She was the rock of our family. As was said, your wings were ready in heaven, but our hearts were not here on earth. We will miss you and keep dad company. Love you always.
