Born July 22, 1962, in New Zealand, Diana was the eldest of three daughters. She was a skilled craftswoman, and used her talents in knitting and yarn work to give to others whenever she had the chance. She was selfless with her time, donating it to anyone in need, and always with a smile on her face. She was a rock and an anchor for so many friends and family, and dearly beloved by each community she belonged to.

What Diana wanted most in this world was a family of her own, and that journey started in her mid twenties. After growing up in Auckland, Diana moved to the United States where she met her husband Brian, and was blessed with two daughters, Christina and Serah. She was an incredible mother, with a talent for making any ordinary day into a treasured memory. She carried that same devotion when it came to caring for and loving her granddaughter, Leona. They adored each other more than anything.

Diana brightened the day of all around her with her quick wit, vibrant personality, and penchant for swearing when people least expected it. A devoted listener of Forensic Files and Judge Judy, she was never without a story or way to fill the silence when someone needed it most. Above all, no matter what someone needed, Diana always found a way to provide.

Diana is survived by her husband Brian, her daughters Christina and Serah, and her granddaughter Leona. She will be dearly missed, but will live on through the impact she had on those who knew her.

Her life will be celebrated on Sunday, September 20 from 2-4 PM at Nicholson Funeral Home.
