She and Mark enjoyed going to auctions and repurposed furniture and had a booth and worked at the Encore Emporium in Hannibal.

Diane was just a big kid and was fun loving and worked hard to make everyone in her presence feel special. She was generous to a fault and would do without to help someone else in need. Her height and glory was to cook a gigantic meal and have all the family gather together. She enjoyed all the family holiday traditions of coloring Easter eggs, Halloween activities and Christmas. She will be truly missed.

Memorial service for Diane will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of the Hudson-Rimer Funeral Home in Edina, MO.
