It's hard finding out things like this through the internet but I just want all of you to know (Mrs. Papp, Frankie, Larry, Denny, Terry and Tommy) she was a light in everyone's life. Being away from the area for so many years NEVER changes the memories I have of all the Good times at the Papp's. She will be truly missed.
All my thoughts and love.

I did not live on your block, but hung out often with Barb McGlaughlin and all of you. We shared a great, adventurous time. Diane was the only girl in the family, like Barb. Great memories. My heart goes out to all of your family. With sincerest sympathy.May she be at peace.

There is a huge void in our lives since you have gone from us to be with the Lord. We miss you so much, though we know you will rest in peace. How we loved our Sunday football games with you, all the ways you brought the family together, your childlike spirit, and how you taught us that family was the most important thing in life! You will always be in our hearts.
With all our love, Tom and Janice

I worked with Diane while at Ingalls for nearly 10 years. She had a personality that was endearing. She worked so hard… left work and worked a second job. Diane was a delight to be around, with a contagious sense of humor. She had such a great laugh. I was heartened by her genuine interest in me and my family over the years.
Diane brought a sense of strength and pride to our workplace, wrapped it in a caring heart and delivered it all those around her. Santa would be hard pressed to match those gifts.
Diane, rest and enjoy the life you have forever earned.

I did not know Diane as well as others but I do know Tom Papp and his family and the world is a better place because of them and it is apparent that Di had a profound and lasting impact on everyone she met.Her life now is one of peace, love, beauty and worry free without pain. We all hope to see her there but until we do we must carry on her spirit of true love and good will to friends and strangers alike. May God continue to bless Mom Mavis and all the Papp family forever.

I had the pleasure and "fun" of knowing Diane for 25 years at Ingalls. She could put a smile on anyone's face and loved people and people loved her. She was a good soul who the Lord has taken from us too soon. I will never forget her laugh and teasing. My sympathies to Judy and her husband.

I have known Diane for so many years, since the old days in Riverdale and Dolton, she was the kindest person with the best sense of humor and love for everyone! I worked at Ingalls while Diane was there too! She was one heck of person who would give you the shirt off her back, may you rest in peace Diane, the world will miss you! Love, Lisa Espinosa Landvogt

When I ask myself how did Diane bless my life, I can say this:
She had a wicked sense of humor and made me laugh even in the midst of my teenage drama. I knew she would always be there no matter what, that she had some fine looking brothers and that she had a fierce loyalty to her family.
I hope she's kickin back with our two other Dolton Boys Richard and Joe. Pinch em for me will ya Di?
I love you all!

Sending the family my deepest sympathy. I worked at Ingalls and then she was a very kind and beautiful person to talk to when I was losing my husband and I would see her every time we were there for treatment. So very sorry for your loss. She was a doll! Thinking of all of you at this time. Sincerely, Patty Field, wife of the late Dr. Timothy Field.
