She loved the clearance aisle at WalMart and a fun day of garage sales. She had two neighbor ladies that she enjoyed taking shopping, taking trips to WalMart, grocery shopping and going to appointments with. Diana spent many summers at the family cottage at Nyona Lake in Macy.
Diana is survived by her husband, Donald, of Rochester; children: Justin (Linda) Hurt, of Colorado; Travis Hurt, of Iowa; Candace Trosper, of Akron; Bobby (Crystal) Dugan, of Lafayette, and Peggy (Ryan) Culp, of Rochester; and 10 grandchildren and one great-grandson.
