Diana was a good friend for many years. She will be very much missed by the two of us and our family. I would love to share another of her famous salads and spend the evening around the dinner table with her and Frank--both good friends; together again.

Diana was a great mentor and friend. She was one of my first managers at Job and Family Services. She was not just a mentor, but, a friend. She taught me a great deal professionally and personally. I will always be grateful. I am thankful that her suffering has ended.

Losing someone we love is nothing easy. I first met Diana in 1972 when she became my boss at FCDHS. I was Blessed to have been able to share in her life. She was a REAL friend. People used to refer to a small group of us as Diana Whightsel Clones. Through the years I thought more of her as my family member. Diana was a great lady and sincerely thought of others welfare.I will always feel Blessed knowing she was my friend. She will be sadly missed. All our love, Joan & Family

Remembering our cousin Diana and the lovely times we spent together in Ireland, here in Edmonton Canada and in Ohio. We had lots of laughs together and shared many a good story... I always think of her when I make her delicious French Coconut Pie! Diana was a wonderful Lady and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Our love and condolences to you all at this very sad time.
