Diana M. (MacDonald) Giarrusso Age 58 of Norton passed away peacefully Thursday June 25, 2026 encompassed in the warm love and presence of her beloved family and dutiful husband Carlo Giarrusso III to whom she was wed on November 11, 1995.
Born in Dorchester on April 2, 1968 to Judith M. Leroux and the late Thomas D. MacDonald. Diana grew up in Norton where she made lifelong friendships and planted roots that would blossom into an everlasting true love she shared with her devoted and adoring husband Carlo. Together their blooming love would flower into the family she so ardently loved with endless affection and pride.
Diana had a deep love of music, specifically classic rock and 80’s glam metal. 94 HJY powered the soundtrack to her life and she enjoyed going to and attending concerts with friends and family, especially her husband with whom she shared an intimate bond through music which became a love song all their own. She loved plants and animals, tending to both her gardens and pets with the same nurturing love and care that she gave selflessly to her family. Diana’s affinity and passion for home decorating was proudly displayed for all seasons and guests, particularly during holidays where her meticulous and purposeful touch sparkled in her craft. More than anything else her soul shone brightest in the accomplishments and achievements of her children and grandchildren.
In addition to her husband and mother, she is survived by her children Alicia, Christopher, Briana, Nicholas, Benjamin, and Alexandra as well as her grandchildren Anthony, Ryan, Presley, Cj, Ayla, Kyla and Jacob. She is further survived by her sister Janeane Scannell. Diana is now welcomed in angelhood with her granddaughter Ariella and her sister Alicia MacDonald.
