In 1947, she met a handsome young man recently returned from U.S. Navy service in the War, Wallace Ross Deputy. They were married on July 16, 1948. They had five beautiful children: Michael Edward (Sheila) Deputy, Marilyn Jane (Lyman) Momeny, Suzanne Lorraine (Joseph) Schoney, Loralee Jeanne (Donald) Pooley, and Stephen Aaron Deputy. She is survived by her children, twenty grandchildren, thirty-two great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
After converting to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1958, Diane discovered she had a talent for and very much enjoyed genealogy and family history. It became a significant part of her life. She dedicated years of service to research and writing about her own ancestors and the family histories and ancestors of others.
She was a prolific writer and wrote some forty-plus books telling the stories of families. She traveled many times over the years across the USA and also to Europe, always in search of records of ancestors. She co-authored with the late Connie Rector, "Links of Forever," "The Celestial Connection," and "Roots and Branches – An Exciting Collection of Genealogical Success Stories."
Her conversion story was published in "No More Strangers" by Hartman and Connie Rector. She had many treasured friends. She played the piano and loved to entertain her friends. She enjoyed talking to others and made many friends. Rest in peace, Diane.
A memorial celebration of Diane's life will be held at 2:00 p.m., with a viewing held one hour prior, on Saturday, February 13, 2021 at Redwood Memorial Estates Mortuary and Cemetery, 6500 South Redwood Road (1700 West), Taylorsville.
Interment will follow at the same location.
Attendance is encouraged via internet from your own home.
