Diana graduated from Lee. H. Edwards High School in 1968 and St. Genevieve-of-the Pines School for Secretaries in 1969. She worked for the US Government (US Forest Service, Veterans Administration, US Marshals Service) from 1969 until retirement in 2005.

She joined the congregation of Acton United Methodist Church in 2001 and immediately became involved. Through the years, she held numerous offices and served on many committees. She organized a Needlework Ministry that made prayer shawls and special gifts for the Acton Church community. Diana thought nothing of giving her time and her talents to this church that she loved so much.

She was an avid knitter. Throughout her life, she loved her family and her friends and cherished the times she had with them. She will be remembered for her positive outlook on life, her selfless giving nature, her willingness to help, and her strong and constant faith.
