We are very sorry about our dear Diane's passing. I have known Diane most of my life and we have many shared relatives even though we are not related except through friendship. You are deeply ❤️ missed and our thoughts are with your family. Mr. & Mrs. Mike (Marty) Van Houten
Diane "Di", had a heart of gold the size of Texas, she truly cared about people and included everyone around her, her silliness, her ability to find humour in anything, to make you laugh at anything even through decades of pain and surgies. Diane, you were a gem, a one in a million soul so rare, your physical pain is over and now you can fish as much as you want in the best spots now. I'm finding "rest in peace" doesn't sound right when you will be s busy in heaven having fun so, God speed sweet lady.
Dave, I'm so sorry for your loss, Diane was a blessing to you and you were her blessing and know she is not truly gone, she is just out of your sight. Sending love and prayer to you in this difficult time and always.
Diane was my mom and Aunts best friend back when they was younger. They had a hoot, Diane was a bit on the ornery side. When I was born I was given Diane's name as my middle name. When we would FaceTime, she would say how you doin namesake. I’m going to miss hearing that!! She was definitely loved here. Rest In Peace Diane!! You are sooo missed!!
Diane Redd is my best friend! We met working at Beverly Nursing Home. She made working there so much fun! She took pride in her job, and adored the Residents. She has been My best friend for years. We were like 2 peas in a pod! We laughed until we cried. She was so dear to my heart. We boost each other up. She did not judge, she simply listened, and lightened the mood. She celebrated every event my kiddos participated in. She was sick alot, but always wanted to fish, play with the kids, just everything! I did not know you were so ill at home these last few days. God has a plan. I will miss your face! I will miss this wonderful woman that brought me happiness and joy! You will remain my best buddy forever and a day! Journey on my friend. Give my brothers big giant bear hugs. Know that you made a difference. You were my saving grace! Thank you for just being you!
Diane and I met through FB. She was part of a group of women just having fun with me. She told me she wanted to be part of a group, so we opened up and let her in with open arms. We all grew to love her very quickly with her thoughtful comments, her heart of gold when someone was hurting, and mostly for her silliness that made us all laugh. She used the word "Gawdy" when she didn't like something I was showing. We got the best laugh from that. What most of my group didn't know is that Diane was sick herself most of the time while she was joining us. Many had no clue. She never talked about what she was going through in the group but her and I spent a lot of time on the phone and she loved calling me on FB Messenger too and talking. She reminded me a lot of my own mother that I lost 10 years ago and I believe that's why we had a bond. In any case, she was one of the funniest, sweetest, and most caring women I've ever known in my life. I loved her like family and she loved me too. We always said I love you Queen at the end of our conversations. She called me that and I called her that too. Her best friend, "Shaggy" aka Teresa, she talked about often to me. She adored her and worried about her so much. She talked about her husband and her kids, her grandchildren, the new baby coming. All of you were so special to her. I know I'm not family but she treated me like I was and I did the same for her. We talked about me coming to meet her and Teresa after this pandemic was over. She said we would have a "Blast". If only that day would've come, I know that would've been the truth. I miss you so much already Diane. The group knows and even the newcomers loved you. We all agree on one thing, our group will never be the same without Diane Redd in it. From all of us, we love. Rest Peacefully In Heaven sweetheart. We will meet again someday Buddy and I'm going to give you the biggest hug Queen. Prayers to all of your family and friends. Until we meet again, I love ya Buddy.
