We are devastated to share that on August 30, 2018, our mama Diane Dowell passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Diane was a dedicated, amazing and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, who was loved by all.
Diane was married to Richard for 55 years, and had 2 sons, and 3 daughters, plus many more who considered Diane as one of “their moms”. Diane also had 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, all who were her pride and joy. Family always came first for her, regardless of if one was biologically related or not. Diane was always positive in life and everything she did. She passionately loved to take care of her husband and family and would never hesitate before helping someone out if needed.
Since her death, Facebook has been flooded with stories, photos, and remembrances of Diane and the love that everyone has for her. She will be missed by all, but her memory will live forever. With all the emotional pain and stress that a death brings, it also brings unexpected financial burdens. We are trying to raise money for our heart broken and shattered Daddy, who is trying to overcome losing his best friend and side kick, unable to deal with the stress of end of life costs, and future expenses.
With heavy hearts we all ask instead of giving flowers, cards, etc., if you would please consider sending a donation to help assist our heartbroken daddy as he tries to navigate this tragedy and move forward in life without our mama. He will be learning how to face the world alone, without the support and kindness from the love of his life. It is in these times of loss and sadness when people come together to help one another make it through, to support the people we care for.
We are thankful for any support you may be able to provide during this difficult time as we try to help our Daddy not only come to terms with losing our beautiful mama, but now learn how to deal with the financial hardship left behind, without her help.
Just want to thank everyone that donated at Mama’s celebration of life and the gofundme account, we all truly appreciate it! We are getting so much closer to reaching our goal.
