Craig and Diane were our next door neighbors in Dobson Ranch when our children were young. We were friends and relied on each through thick and thin. Our family is so sorry to hear of her death.

Diane was a constant to me in the midst of a lot of unsteadiness. I am so grateful for all the time I got to spend with her (and her family) growing up. Swimming, playing, eating ramen – and her famous beans. 😀 I always felt welcome and at home at her house. Her calming and solid testimony of our Savior heavily influenced my own. And I’m having a hard time finding the right words to explain how deeply I love her and her family. Love you all. <3

I’m so sorry Diane had to leave this world at this time. She was loved and will be missed! I’m so grateful that I was able to get to know her and share a couple of grandkids with her ??

So very sorry to hear this! I wish we lived closer, to go to the services. We’re very, very sad that she is gone so young. She was the first in the family to meet Neli, at the Manti Utah pageant in 1975, while at BYU. –Dwayne and Neli Rogers 364 Patterson Cir Burleson, TX 7602 dr2020mail@gmail.com

Diane was such a lovely woman; always kind, thoughtful, and loving toward her family and others. I am particularly grateful for the wonderful job she did as a mother. Our family has been greatly blessed by her diligent efforts to raise righteous children.

Our deepest condolences to the Ellsworth family. While I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Diane, it’s evident from the wonderful person Chantel is that she had an exceptional mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
