Dianne devoted more than 20 years of her career to serving her communities as a school bus driver. Later, she worked for many years in the kitchen at Greeley Health Care Center before retiring. Whether transporting children safely to school or preparing meals for residents, Dianne found joy in caring for others and making a difference in their daily lives. Above all else, Dianne treasured her family and her faith. She found her greatest happiness in time spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering faith will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her love will continue through the many lives she touched.
