She graduated from the State College of Beauty in 1977 and served as a cosmetologist for 41 years. Diane was a woman of deep faith, with the biggest heart, an abundance of Irish blessings, and contagious laugh. She lovingly married her husband, Thomas Smigiel June 12, 2004 where they served as active members of the Holy Family Catholic Church community. She was loved by many (including her pets) and will be remembered by all who were lucky enough to experience her vibrant soul.
