Diane and Jerry made homes in Chicago, Glen Ellyn, Buffalo Grove, and Huntley, Illinois over the years.
Diane is remembered for her sense of humor, enthusiasm for chocolate candies, and love of playing games with friends and family.

Diane is survived by her six children: Nancy (Michael), James (Christine), Geri Lynn, Christopher (Barbara), Jennifer, and Valerie (Michael). She is further survived by 16 grandchildren: Rachel and Jonathan. Megan, Benjamin, Hannah and Brian. Emily and Michael. Joseph, Matthew, Luke and Claire. Cole and Mari. Allison and Andrew. Also, four great-grandchildren. She was a treasured aunt to 24 nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, and by each of her siblings: Dorothy Altman, Patsy Kedzie, and Richard Radzicki.
Diane’s family would like to thank the staff at Heritage Woods Huntley for making her last 3 years as pleasant as possible, Nurse Lisa at Gentiva Hospice for her wise counsel, the clergy at St Mary Huntley for visiting often, and all the friends and family who visited, called, prayed, and sent wishes through her difficult times.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be at St Mary Catholic Church, 10307 Dundee Rd, Huntley at 10 am on Saturday, August 17. Visitation will be at the church from 9 am to 10 am.

Di was one of my favorite people!!Always positive attitude about everything from cards to family to pickleball!!Loved her and miss her!!
so sorry to hear about Diane. She was such a wonderful person.
When I lived in Huntley in Neighborhood 18 I enjoyed getting together with Diane at the many different games we played. She was an accomplished player and fun to be with. She also acted as a chauffeur when I needed a ride to a local doctor’s appointment. I value the time I had with her and consider her a good friend. Sending my heartfelt condolences to her family.
Rest in Gods Eternal Peace dear cousin. Praying for blessings of comfort and peace for her family and friends. It's in Jesus name we pray. Amen
