Diane loved roller skating from the time she was a young girl. It was there that she met the love of her life, Carroll, and the two were inseparable ever since. She also enjoyed bowling, golfing, vacationing and cruises with Carroll, and their close friends. Time spent boating and summers on Lake Winnisquam with her Lake Family brought her great happiness and memories. She had a strong devotion to her faith which gave her comfort and peace. Diane’s love and devotion to her family was beyond words. She provided endless amounts of support, compassion and strong morals. Together, she and Carroll demonstrated the true meaning of love, and how it should be done. Diane was an exceptional mother, and was a beyond exceptional Grammy. Her family was her pride and joy!!!!
