Diane was born and raised in Illinois, where she attended both parochial and private schools. She now resides in Prescott, Arizona with her husband, Lloyd. Her interest in performing, directing, and writing skits started before the age of eight, fostered by her father, a professional musician and vocalist who directed the entire family in homemade feature films. Diane is a costume performer for The National Women's History Project. She donates her flag and her Betsy Ross characterization to charitable organizations. Diane's mentor and spiritual teacher, Barbara Allen, brought Diane's writing talents to her attention later in life. Diane would be the first to say she wanted to share her experiences with others; somewhere in the process she became a writer.
