Diane Astrella Obituary
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I, Tony Astrella, tell you the beautiful love of my life of 42 years has passed away and is in the arms of Jesus. Diane Astrella fought as hard as she could, but in the end it was too much for her to fight. Diane is the youngest daughter of John and Irene Stano.
She is survived by her sister Marilyn Guillemette, husband Paul, aunt of nieces and nephew Diana, Brian, and Debbie. Diane is gone now but will never be forgotten.
P.S. Gummi Bear..."Jelly Bean" says you will always be in my heart and thoughts.
A visitation for Diane will be held Tuesday, April 4, 2023 from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM with a rosary at 6pm at Valley of the Sun Mortuary &Cemetery, 10940 East Chandler Heights Rd, Chandler, Arizona, 85248.
A funeral service will be held Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at 10am at St Juan Diego Catholic Church, 3200 S Cooper Rd, Chandler AZ 85286.

Oh my gosh, I think I did nothing but laugh when I was with Aunt Di. My favorite memory was when the three of us stayed with Aunt Di. Some things happened... LOL!
Love you!
