Dianne loved line dancing and listening to polka and country bands. She also enjoyed feeding the birds, flowers and playing cards. Dianne adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, most recently playing the piano and singing for them!

Dianne’s favorite Bible scripture is found at Matthew 24:14 - “And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
