Un a world where kindness and the “Golden Rule” seem to be disappearing, Dianne embodied a gentle spirit that showed us all that generosity and finding better ways to treat one another is the best way to live.

Dianne understood that love was the answer and we will always remember her and be grateful for that gift.

Dianne will be dearly missed by so many. She was a lovely woman and a wonderful addition to Lyn and the Blanchard family. She brought joy and companionship to our uncle Lyn. We enjoyed hearing of their sweet companionship, and I always looked forward to her beautiful Christmas cards. We feel blessed that our lives intersected with hers through Lyn. We pray God‘s peace and comfort over you as you navigate the days ahead, hold onto cherished memories, and carry forward the legacy that she has gifted you.

We are heartbroken by the loss of Dianne. We hold dear so many fond memories of our adventures with Dianne and Lyndon over the years.

Trips to the Cascade Mountains in Washington, the Pacific Ocean in Oregon and a number of outings to Lake Superior with her loyal dog, Bo.

Dianne tried to teach us the secrets of being winners at casinos, but we could never match her prowess.

Dianne exuded love, kindness and respect for all people and will be sorely missed.

I do recall .so very many times of staying at your house when we were in grade school. We spent many days at the then new pool in Thorp. Cheerleading was great fun and so were those pork and bean, potato chip sandwiches. May Jesus hold you close. Am glad Ted and I got to see you at Denny's service a while back.

I am very sorry for your loss and know that your mom will be missed greatly by your family. I loved reading her obituary - she has done so much in her lifetime. It made me smile to envision her going off on adventures on her scooter. I will be thinking of you all on Friday.
