Diane grew up in New Jersey, where she met her husband, Bob, at Morrison Steel. They shared a loving marriage and raised their daughter, Terry, together.

Diane chose to be a stay-at-home mom, dedicating her life to caring for her family. She was a talented baker and cook, known for her delicious meals and treats. Diane took pride in her Hungarian heritage. She also enjoyed sewing and spent many hours crafting beautiful pieces. A passionate Orioles fan, Diane rarely missed a game and loved cheering on her team. Her love for animals was evident in the way she cared for her beloved cats.
