I worked with Diane for several years and we took a few trips to River City. I just spoke to her a couple of weeks ago and I was sorry to hear about her passing. She was a great lady. My sympathy and prayers are with your entire family
My heart is broken. We were friends from the 1st day of 2nd grade at St Boniface. No matter how long between visits all it took was one hug and we were back in sync. I will miss her so much. My prayers are with you, Thomas.
I worked and traveled several times to the Washington, DC area with Diane for several years at NGA, she was a good friend to me and always showed genuine love for my my mom, daughter and grand boys. She will be missed. My prayers are with your family.
So sorry to hear about Diane, worked with her a long time, wonderful lady my condolences to Tom and her family
I’m so sorry to hear of Diane passing, we worked together and traveled together for work. We use to go down to the cafeteria each morning for a cup of coffee, Diane was a very beautiful person inside and out. Diane was a wonderful friend, I’m very blessed that our path crossed.

Diane would always hug me in the hall and then tell everyone that it was alright because we were cousins.
Our prayers are with Tom, Alice, and the rest of the family.
I’m so sorry to hear of Diane’s passing. She was always a friendly, kind person. My deepest sympathy to you, Tom, and your family.
Diane, was a wonderful life long friend that I have known since kindergarten. I am lucky to have had her as friend for these many years. I am also blessed she was in my life when we were young as she managed to be the mature friend that helped me through our post high school to adulthood years. I was so very sad to hear of her death. She had been in my thoughts so much in the last few months. Tom, Brian, Nicole, Kerry, Kevin , Alice and to the rest of her family I extend my sincere sympathy she was a truly kind, wonderful person and the world will be diminished without her,
I was very lucky to have caught up with Diane and other friends a few years ago at a reunion after many years of graduating from St. Boniface School. Even for two short times that I got to meet with her again was very comforting for me recalling the great person she was. Her death brought me sadness and my heartfelt sympathy to her husband and the rest of her family. One less bright light now gone from the class of ’61.
Always hugs from Diane in the halls of the map factory and loving stories about her family. And daily daisies. How sad to find this news. Condolences to Thomas and family.
Diane was a sweet, sweet lady. I worked with her in the TM office in NIMA and then at NJVC, she was very competent and always fun. I am so sorry to hear her departure, my condolences to Tom and her family – she spoke lovingly about them all the time.
So sorry to hear of Diane’s passing! What a wonderful person and the best friend ever! I will always remember our families at Mass and activities at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish. We lead a boy scout den together for our sons, and took each other’s children to various ball games and activities when we each had so many places to be. She always had gum in her purse when our children asked for some. We played tennis before reporting to night shift at DMAAC,( later becoming NGA). As co-workers, we always got the job done. Our family sends our deepest sympathies to Tom, Brian, Kerri, Kevin and family. Diane is truly a role model and she will be greatly missed. — Mary and Dan Sullivan and Family
Diane will truly be missed. She was nice and she was the person to go to if you needed any information. Always willing to help anyone. God bless as travel to her home and the family who will miss her.
Our condolences to the Bowes family. Sorry to hear about Diane. We worked with Diane at DMAAC/NGA for many years since she started DMAAC. She was loving, kind, helpful, giving and had a great sense of humor. She taught me all about finding information about maps and other products for our offsite customers. She will be missed. We’re praying for Thomas, Brian, Kevin and Kerri and the rest of her family that God gives you peace and strength to make it through the days aheads. May God bless you and keep you.
