Diane had a vibrant spirit and a wide range of passions. She loved to shop, tend to her flowers and garden and cherished the time spent with her family and friends. Music-especially the blues-always lifted her soul, and she never passed up a chance to dance. She valued staying active and approached each day with joy and enthusiasm. Diane was a very generous person; she loved to help others.
Diane is survived by her husband, Daniel; daughter, Jodie (Chris) Salerno; grandchildren, Jordan Babler and Bryce Babler; sister, Cally (Bill) Bashor; and brothers, Jim (Barb) Weber, Bob (Jean) Weber and Bill Weber.
