She was predeceased by her husband of 38 years, Don Lewis, whom she loved and cherished beyond words, and her younger sister Jeanne Dupre. Diane was retired but she continued and love working in the Macy’s Wedding department. She spent much of her time working within her AA community and supporting hundreds and thousands of people through their recovery. She was an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous for 46 years, and has joined many of her favorite people at the big AA meeting in the sky. Diane was a queen in her own right, and enjoyed spending her time at the beach, on cruises, traveling with friends, spending time with loved ones. Her favorite things in the world were chocolate ice cream, Princess Diana, and helping others — her greatest strength.
