I am deeply saddened to read this. Diane was such a wonderful woman. She and my Mom became such good friends when they worked in the CCPS cafeteria. We lived just a couple miles from each other. Both Diane and Mom would take car rides to wherever and visit each other often. I stopped in to visit her in June 2023 just a few days before Mom passed. We had a very nice visit along with my many other visits over the years when Mom’s health declined. She was such a joy. She loved her cat she had. Rest in eternal peace. I know you and Mom are hanging out again and sharing lots of conversations and many laughs.

Mark and family, Scott and I are so very sorry to hear of your dear Mom’s passing. She served and helped many of us children over the years during lunch, she ALWAYS had a smile on her face as she greeted the thousands and thousands of students she saw in the course of her career. She was a constant and bright light in our school system. May your many fond memories with her ease you in the days, months and years ahead. With sympathy, Robin and Scott ‘83
