The legacy of Diana’s kind spirit will live on through them and all who knew her.
A life well lived as Diana Devorce cannot die, she will live on in the hearts and memories of all those who loved her.
Diana stayed active and enjoyed enhancing her skills, knowledge, and abilities. She took collegiate course work as recently as 2015 and was an avid writer who enjoyed creating short stories and poems that she hoped would inspire the next generation.
