Diane Gloria Coburn was born on October 6, 1938, to Ingaborg Ingrid Helena Johnson and Alfred Coburn, Sr. in Oakland, California.
She graduated Valedictorian from San Leandro High School in 1956 and graduated from UC Berkley in 1960.
She taught elementary school in the Oakland-San Leandro School District for about 30 years. She had a special credential for teaching the blind and a special interest in teaching the deaf.
Diane always loved animals and creatures of all kinds. She especially loved Dalmatians and never owned any other kind of dog until Brandy and Bandit were adopted a year and a half ago. She said that a dog without spots was not worth calling a dog.
She also loved to travel. Over the course of her life, she has been all over the world with her friends and family, especially her good friend Dorothy Cunningham and then with The Rev. Carol L Cook.
Her favorite places included all parts of Africa, the east coast of Australia, northern Italy, and South America. Near the end of her life, she especially enjoyed cruising. She went to Alaska and Mexico several times with her dear friends Michael and Bill. Her last cruise was from Dubai to Singapore via India. She had a wonderful sense of adventure.
She is loved and survived by her brother Fred and her sister-in-law Amber. She was very close to her nephew Ernie and her niece Karyn Pedersen. She is also survived by her brother Roger Stolberg and his wife Mary as well as by her sister Melody and her husband Mike Gentry. She has many nieces and nephews as well as cousins on the west coast. She had many many friends who loved her greatly. She was a true light to all of us.
