Diane was secretary for Lybarger Trucking Inc. and attended Tire Hill Church of the Brethren.

She enjoyed cooking, gardening, caring for her home and watching the Pittsburgh Penguins.

A devoted wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say.

Diane loved the Lord and His word. Her faith was an inspiration to all who knew her. She always put others first, even in the midst of her condition.

At Diane’s request, there will be no viewing.

A celebration of her life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 20, at Tire Hill Church of the Brethren, with Pastor Frank Young presiding.

Please wear your Penguins attire.
