Diane S. Cassidy

Diane S. Cassidy, 21, of Windermere, Florida, passed away October 14, 2012. Diane was a senior at Flagler College majoring in education and was set to graduate this coming April. Diane was very organized and an excellent student all throughout school. She spent her summer this year doing all the things she loved. She traveled to Namibia donating books to schools and hunting with her father. She also spent the summer school session in Costa Rica learning about the local culture, enjoying the people, ziplining and hiking through the rainforest. Diane then traveled to Lake Tahoe where she enjoyed boating and hiking in the mountain air. She loved the outdoors and loved learning about new places and new things.

Diane loved her family. She was always there to take care of her little sisters and brothers. She was always there to help with homework or read a book or teach Tristan (her 4 year old brother) sign language and making sure everyone was fed and safe around the pool. She could always be relied upon to take care of everyone or babysit all the children when Mom and Dad went to dinner and a movie. Diane loved and cared for her brothers and sisters and her parents and especially loved to cozy up with everyone on the couches and watch movies. She will be missed.
