Diane and I worked at First Union together. She was a fantastic mentor and friend. She gave me a baby shower. She made me laugh. She was a great role model for me. I truly admired her. She was devoted to her family.
My sincere condolences to Connie and her loved ones.
I have many fond memories of Dianne from hanging out at the Johnstons’ house over the years! She had a great voice and laugh and I will always remember her energy and warmth. Holding Connie and the rest of Dianne’s family close to my heart.

A Friend
I met Diane when she and Lloyd started dating, I liked her instantly. She always had a smile on her face and was very easy to get to know. John and I attended the wedding of Diane and Lloyd, had children close in age and enjoyed hanging out together. I vividly remember one camping trip we went on together in the NC mountains, I’ve never been a fan of camping, but ended up having a great time because of the company.
The loss of such a dear friend cuts deep. My prayers are with the family as they navigate through the coming days.
With much love,
John and Phyllis McAuley
