Dianna was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and a strong voice for 
family unity. The fierce love she gave to her family was grounded in her love 
of God and devotion to her Roman Catholic faith. 
As a parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church, she was an extraordinary 
Eucharistic minister, past member of the Lady's Altar Society, and a dedicated 
youth group leader. She strongly fought against abortion and was an outspoken 
advocate for unborn children and all children. She believed in helping her 
community and was a founding member of the Catholic Community Center. 
She worked hand-in-hand with her husband in the family boat business and was an 
astute business woman. However, first and foremost she was a homemaker. 
After raising eight children, she thoroughly enjoyed being an artist, 
seamstress, gardener, and traveler. 

She will be lovingly missed by her family.
