Due to the COVID-19 isolation and the uncertainty of when it will be over, a Celebration of Life is tentatively scheduled for August 2020. Attempts will be made to confirm a date with as much notice as we can, so those traveling distances can make plans. Diane will be interred at the Legion Cemetery after the Celebration of her wonderful life.
