Diane was born on November 16th in Norwalk, Connecticut. She was the oldest of five children. She grew up in Norwalk, attending both elementary and high school there. She met her first husband John in high school and was married shortly after she graduated. They moved to Eureka because her husband had family in the area.

Diane worked in a gift shop for a time and then found a job working for Humboldt National Bank. She worked as a proof reader which at that time was the painstaking process of making sure the checks balanced with what was in people ’ s accounts.

They dated for a while, married, and had two sons. Chandler, her oldest, works locally in construction. Keenan works as a sheet rocker in Spokane. She has one grandchild. Due to her husband being in the military, they traveled all over the United States in the 45 years he was in the Coast Guard. They got to see a lot of beautiful places and meet interesting people. They retired in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and after her husband passed away, Diane moved here to Timber Ridge to be closer to her older son. In her spare time, Diane loves to shop at thrift stores, do jigsaw puzzles, and read. She enjoys reading mostly mystery/suspense novels.
