Over the next 45 years, Diane and "her Bob" shared many adventures including camping at Canyon Ferry and Daley Lake and driving their restored 1950 and 1935 Chevys to Rod Runs throughout Montana and the West. Diane and Bob's marriage survived the building of not one, but two cabins in the Smith Creek area of the Crazy Mountains, where for they would go to relax until Bob was no longer able to make the journey. No matter the adventure they found themselves on, they always came away with lifelong friendships and memories that meant the world to them both.

Diane was a lover of people, and she translated that love into service. Whether it be waiting on them in a restaurant, serving them from behind a counter, or watching over them in their own homes. Diane thrived when she was around and helping people. She had a huge, loving heart that she happily shared with everyone. She always had a sunny smile and friendly words to share with anyone she encountered, and she will be missed greatly by all that knew her.
