A Life between Two Communities
Diane’s notice carries both Winlaton and Blaydon in its opening line, a small detail that says a great deal. She belonged to both places, and both will feel her absence in their own way.
Living between two neighbouring Tyneside communities for most of a life builds a particular kind of network — friends, neighbours, familiar faces at the shops, people who simply knew you. Diane clearly had that, in abundance, across both Blaydon and Winlaton.
The Family Diane Leaves Behind
Much-Loved Mam of Three

Beloved Grandma of Three
As grandma to Emily, Eve and Olivia, Diane held a role she clearly treasured, three granddaughters who will carry her name and her memory forward.
Adored Sister
