To Diane’s family: My sincere sympathy at the loss of my old friend. Diane and I both worked at Park City many many years ago, where I was her “favorite teller” at Farmers First. I enjoyed our occasional lunches together and to this day admired her for her extraordinary seamstress skills. She was a kind and gentle soul and will be missed.
Sincerely,
Ruth Patterson

I knew Diane as a neighbor and friend at Greenview Terraces. She was an outstanding seamstress, but more importantly, she was a wonderful and thoughtful friend. My daughter and 4 grandkids came to know her too and we chatted several times each week. We just exchanged Christmas cookies on Monday. We will miss her. Deanna Noble

I will truly miss my dear friend “Dita.” She was a kind, caring and thoughtful person who had a great sense of humor, Dita provided me with a better knowledge, respect and appreciation of Greek culture. Whenever my wife and I visited her she always insisted that we sampled everything in her kitchen. She even loved our dog and would always put out a water dish for her and give her a treat. We will miss you Dita. Rest in peace my friend.
