Diane Anderson Diane was born on October 25, 1946 and spent her early years in an orphanage. She was adopted into a loving home by Elizabeth (nee Cahill) and Earl Anderson and grew up in Phoenix. As an adult, Diane was a career woman working for both Motorola and General Dynamics as an executive secretary. In retirement her artistic nature was on display as she spent her days on arts and crafts. She is survived by her cousins John (Sarabess) Cahill of Lake Forest, IL and Toni (Tom) Weaver of McHenry, IL and by her good friend JoAnn Mickley. She was preceded in death by her parents, an aunt and two uncles, two close cousins of her mother (Florence Sherman and Helen Albright), and her precious fur babies. Her ashes will be scattered in a place she loved so well – Hannagan Meadow. Diane had a kind and loving spirit and truly brought joy to her corner of the world.
