He had Alzheimer’s Disease for the last five years of his life. Diane was able, with the help of the Veterans’ Administration, to care for him at their Transitional Care Unit, and for the last two years, at home.
This new book, The Girl from 21 Wakullah Street is about Diane’s Family Life, with her five siblings and single-parent mother. Diane and her family lived in Roxbury, Massachusetts which at that time (the 30’s and 40’s) was a poor, hard-working, family neighborhood in a Boston suburb.
Diane graduated from Roxbury Memorial High School for Girls in 1951. In 1954 she graduated with a certificate from Boston Clerical School. In later years Diane received a Bachelor of Science degree from Empire State College in New York and a Master of Divinity Degree from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School. She has been an ordained minister for 45 years; first with The Salvation Army and finally with the United Methodist Church. Her appointment before she retired was in Pennellville, New York for eight years. After her retirement she joined Pennellville Church and is very active there.view less
