She worked hard all her life and bought a house that she was very proud of. She enjoyed cooking home-cooked meals and baking too. Music was a large part of Diane’s life.
Elvis, Patsy Cline and the Rat Pack are just some of her favorites. She could name that tune in just a few notes! She loved indoor and outdoor concerts.
She was always winning prizes off the radio, including plenty of “meet and greet” packages! Her love of animals was always apparent. She had many dogs over the years, but her dog “Connie” was her last favorite.
A female black lab that was a sweetheart. Diane bought her dream car, a 1979 Lincoln Bill Blass Continental Mark V! She adored that car.
She even had it displayed at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford house with the Lincoln Club, which she belonged to. She also drove it in the Woodward Dream Cruise! She loved traveling with friends over the years.
She traveled to Atlantic City, California (visiting “The Hotel Del Coronado”, where the movie Some Like it Hot was partially filmed), Hawaii, New Orleans, and Las Vegas. She loved purple, her bling jewelry, and high heeled shoes! Dressing up was part of her daily routine.
