She always had a pet companion and was very gifted with ceramics and crafts. Sadly, Diane was widowed in 2013. She recently moved to Moses Lake and oversaw construction of her new house. She became president of the Columbia Basin Eagles 2622 Ladies Auxiliary for the year 2021, where she raised money for the Heart Fund.
