Active in her parish, she assisted with BINGO and worked many picnics and events.  Diane’s favorite place to relax was sitting on the porch overlooking the ocean, reading a good book. She loved playing cards and traveling New England, especially Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Her family will miss her laughter and famous holiday pies.
