She is with Joann now. She is happy 

So many sweet mems with my double Aunt Diane. Aunt Diane is my Dad’s (the late Bill Harmeyer) sister and was married to my Mom’s (Sandy Harmeyer) brother, the late Uncle Mel. My siblings (Joe, Dan & Angela) and cousins (Lee & JoAnn) were very close due to this unique relationship. Our families were together a lot, especially during the holidays. I sure will miss Aunt Diane’s sarcacism and free spirited will. She had a special calming way about her and could make you laugh even when a situation was no laughing matter at all. Aunt Diane will be greatly missed. Your mom is so very proud of you Lee! Treasure all those wonderful memories and hold them close to your heart.  Love, hugs and prayers to you and your family. Your cousin, Shelly

There are so many wonderful memories with Diane, Doodle as I call her.  She was so many things to me and my kids over the years. She was my charge nurse, my sister-in-law, my friend, my mom in some situations and the voice of reason so many times and wisdom. When times got tough for her with MS she came to stay with me and the kids for a while and I think that she helped us more than we helped her. It was one of the best years of Our Lives. I can remember us fostering dogs and we had 10 puppies. We went to the store to get something and came back and there was Diane sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor with all these puppies climbing all over her and she was crying because she didn't know what to do to help them and she couldn't stand hearing them whine. It was the most adorable thing to see. When she left our home to move to Bright she took one of The Fosters with her. I was glad to see her back on her feet. It breaks my heart that she's gone but I know that she's happy because she's back with Jojo. Love and miss you so much Doodle

Deedles, Courtney and Bobby. 💚❤

My condolences to Diane's family. I first met Diane when I was at the mall box about 6 yrs ago. and we would often see each other outside and talk about everything and got to know each other well. We always prayed for each other because we both had medical problems. One of my favorite memories of Diane was when she was walking Daisy every spring and summer. She would always stop at my apartment to admire my flowers. Even though I did my best, I didn't feel like my little garden was that special, but the way Diane admired them, I felt like I had the nicest plants in the apartment complex!  I miss her so much! During the winters when we didn't talk outside, we always spoke on the phone to check on each other. She called me a day or so before she was put in the hospital.  We t shirt for a bit but I could tell she was wearing herself out just talking to me. That was the last real conversation we had together. I would like to thank Lee for letting me come to visit with her toward the end. Diane recognized me and put her arm around my waist.  That made me happy and sad at the same time. I believe she is in Heaven now watching over us all.  I thank God that He brought Diane into my life. I will never forget her and will always treasure my memories of our time together.

 Not meaning to repeat myself but I think I put this in the wrong place the first time.  Diane was a very special sister-in-law. I didn't spend enough time with her in her later years and that will always sadden me. Love your family while there here. I hope to see all the family and Diane's friends this Thursday. I was reading Lois memories of Diane. It reminded me of when she would take your arm and say “Let’s take a walk!”  You knew you were going to get love, support, and most of all, the answer.  She will be a great force in Heaven.

I remember hanging out at Aunt Diane's with Lee and JoAnn and Uncle Mel, with any number of other cousins who happened to be there, going to western bowl, over nights and family parties. When I close my eyes to think of something specific I just see her amazing smile. Her whole face smiled and made you immediately feel happy no matter what was going on. She was a beautiful person who will be missed in this world. There is another angel watching over this family.

Growing up I would spend most of my summers at Aunt Dianes. She would never say no to picking me up and taking JoAnn and I wherever we wanted to go including Western Bowl, Western Rollarama and Cold Steele concerts.  She always allowed sleepovers, late video game nights, wrestling matches and movie nights. I remember her being on call for work most nights and spending time at Riverview waiting for her shift to end.  She was always cracking jokes and had a Whitty sense of humor. I can remember spending hours with her at the laundry mat after she would drive from Delhi to pick me up. Who would have thought doing laundry could be fun. She treated me like I was part of her family. A specific memory I have is her blowing a whistle over the phone when she received prank calls. I always thought that was hilarious. I'm honored to be her niece and grateful for her caring for me during my childhood and thankful for the time we had together. 

Growing up, it seemed Mel and Diane were as big a part of my life as anyone in my own house. I never hesitated to jump at a chance to ask for a sleepover at Lee's house. 

It seemed Aunt Diane never said "no" to any of our crazy plans or schemes. She found humor and joy in every unrealistically huge bike ramp, WWF wrestling match, or any other feral activities we were planning. She just let us be boys. 

I'm proud to say I was her nephew. 

I learned to be more patient and walk away from suitions you can not control . She was always there to support me when I needed it the most . She would always take me by the arm and say " Walk with me" . When we would return from our little walk and talk everything was great. She was an excellent nurse, mother, friend and fellow co-worker who will always be remembered for her favorite saying when asked how she was that day "FandD. She will be missed by many. I love you Diana and you will be missed by many . You will never be forgotten . Till we meet again your friend always
