On Friday, September 17, 2021, Diane Carol Haynes, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away at the age of 66 after a long battle with cancer. Diane was a beloved wife to her husband Jim, and mother of three wonderful boys, David, Brian and Kevin. Diane might best be described as a daughter, sister, wife, friend, planner, organizer, compassionate soul, woman of faith, puzzle-maker, cook, grandmother, decorator - among many of her skillsets - but most of all she relished being a mom and all that went with it.
Diane moved to Phoenix from Park Ridge, Illinois in 1970, one year before meeting her husband, Jim and starting a life full of family, travel, game nights, soccer matches, cub scout leadership, personal dog walking services for her cherished dogs Foxy and Fitz, and her never ending quest to perfectly organ-ize all her shelves.
Diane is also survived by her parents Ray and Anne Henning, brother Mark Henning and his wife Paula, father-in-law Fred Haynes and his wife Rosie, brothers-in-law Tom and his wife Cheryl, Ted and John, daughters-in-law Megan and Ann, grandchildren Tasha, Tyana, Owen, Logan and Mikey.
Services will be held at St. Andrews the Apostle Catholic Church in Chandler, Arizona on Monday, Sep-tember 27, 2021 at 10:00 with a reception following the service at the church. In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to Stand Up to Cancer.
