She grew up in Bethesda, Maryland and graduated from Walt Whitman High School. She attended the University of South Florida and earned a degree in English and a minor in early childhood education.

Diane was a gifted writer and artist who loved children. She taught preschool for many years and was noted for her adorable cartoon characters that amused both children and adults. She enjoyed playing the piano, decorating, reading, and gardening. Diane also loved animals and always had family dogs and cats.
