Diane worked as a switchboard operator at Norwood Hospital for 32 years. She very much enjoyed her co-workers and the routine of taking the train to and from work every day.
Diane loved to stay active. She enjoyed time spent with family, watching football games, game shows and binge watching TV series on DVD. She enjoyed day trips with her daughter and long daily walks to Dunkin Donuts (large iced coffee, pumpkin spice, cream only. . . no ice!).
Diane was known for her gentle, kind nature and will be dearly missed by many.
