What a loss for so many! She impacted our family in such a positive way by loving and nurturing our son earlier this year at Cascade. She welcomed him and made his transition into the Tigers class so seamless and wonderful. She connected with him through song/dance and he just adored her. We will cherish the short time we had with her and will keep your family in our prayers as you navigate this time of grief.

My heart is breaking. Diane was such a sweet lady. She was a teacher at Cascade and she taught my granddaughter Amelia about Jesus using music and hand movements. I believe Diane is now singing to Jesus face to face.

Dianne was Greyson's, my husband, cousin. She was able to visit our home several times over the years. It was such a joy to see him laugh when they shared memories of their time together while growing up. Diane was so supportive to me, his sister and dad, when Greyson died way too young of the same cancer that took Diane's mom at any early age. I will remember her smile and the times she spent with us, especially with her one visit that coincided with a visit from her dad while we were stationed in Washington DC. A wonderful time for everybody. We never had the privilege of meeting her sons, but she talked admirably about each one. My thoughts and prayers are with her boys, her siblings (Roxanne & David), as well as other family and friends that were touched by her joyous life.
Look at the smiles and love shared during her last Christmas. 😃💕💖💕
As her middle and once prodigal son who returned I must say that there is no doubt in my mind that she is loving every blessing heaven has to offer. Most likely, she hasn't stepped out of the choir fold long enough to explore her new home in the servants' quarters, but as Jesus' faithful servant on earth for 44 years that I can vouch for... There is no doubt that her place in heaven is ranked among the best of the best. All the pain of her passing is for us still here to bear. I choose to celebrate with her and to praise God for taking her home when he wanted her there. We may never know why she was taken from us so young, but can rejoice over the years we got to share together. 💖💖💖
My granddaughter Kendra had Ms. Diane as a teacher at Cascade Christain. She just loved Ms Diane, always very kind and very friendly. She will be missed by so many and not to mention so many little ones that she had a huge impact on their lives. God Bless you Ms. Diane. Prayers for her family and friends.
Oh my, I remember Diane as a fun loving teenager from Lakes High School! I missed seeing her at out 50th reunion this past year, which saddens me, living in Indiana and having health issues with my husband.
Well as she passed into heaven, my great granddaughter was born that same day!
Rest In Peace my friend. We are all sadden by your loss, but know we have fond memories of your grace and sweetness.
I was one of Diane's co workers at Cascade Christian. I have really only talked with her a few times but each time was about the things of God. What I noticed about her was that she was bold. I loved that about her. I will miss her for sure.
I went to school with her from 9th to 12th grades and have a couple of pictures to share from our reunion last fall. I am having a hard time believing she is gone! But I am glad to hear of her strong faith.
Diane was such a joyful woman of faith. She will be missed! I first met her when we were in our 20's and she had a young family. One of my favorite memories was when she described an answer to prayer that she had. It was close to the end of the month and she needed to fix something for the kids to eat but didn't have much and no way to get something so she prayed about the need. Not long after, a man knocked on the door with a loaf of bread, milk, and eggs. She thought he was selling the items, but he explained they were free samples they were handing out to build their delivery business. They were gratefully received. Oh, and the name of the dairy was "Faith Dairy," a well known business in that area.
She touched a lot of lives and encouraged people to know Jesus. Her legacy is one of faith, love, and caring. Sure will miss her! Delaine Campbell
