Amid the art and photography she had so lovingly created in recent years and in the embrace of her husband, George and her daughters, Melinda and Mollie,
Diana left us for now, her nine-year long struggle with breast cancer over.Â
 Once diagnosed with cancer she responded by choosing to use art and music as a creative  force to aid her in the struggle. She developed unique techniques of gilding glass and using gold and silver on photographic images. Her years as a teacher, scholar, therapist and artist left us with a rich collections of memories and work, most recently as a member of the Gilroy Arts and Culture Commission.
