In Diane’s life, there was nothing more important than her family and her pets. Having her children and grandchildren around her was the greatest moments of her life.  The family dinners, special occasions, and holidays were those most she looked forward to.  Diane also cherished her work with people in need and providing comfort and security to children in turmoil as a foster parent.  She also loved camping and looked forward to every summer when she could camp under the stars at Lamb City Campground in Phillipston with family and friends by her side.  The past few years, Diane enjoyed watching TLC and shopping on QVC when she wasn’t finding deals on Craigslist.
