She and Allen Lane were married September 25, 1982 in Brazeau, Missouri. She was a member of St. Mary Cathedral in Cape Girardeau. She was a devoted wife to Allen for 41 years; loving mother to Jenna and Justin; and beloved grandmother to Brendan and Dylan. As we remember Diane, let us reminisce about those moments when she danced to Elvis' rhythm, infusing every room with her infectious laughter. Her love for Allen was a love story, an enduring bond that inspired everyone who knew them. Jenna and Justin, the apples of her eye, were blessed with Diane's warmth and kindness. Diane's greatest joy was in becoming a grandmother to Brendan and Dylan, showering them with love and affection. Though we may no longer see her smile or hear her voice, Diane's spirit endures, forever serenading us with the sweet sounds of love. In our hearts, she remains an eternal symbol of grace and love. Rest in peace, Diane. Thank you for the memories you shared with us. You will forever be our angel.
