Obituary For Diane Marie Lima Levitan

Diane was a cherished wife, mom, “ammy”, “grammy”, “prima”, and friend. She spent her days loving everyone around her, and filling our hearts with joy. She was a wife full of compassion, kindness, and love. She was intelligent, clever, and perceptive. She was inspiring, encouraging, and supportive. Her smile, laughter, as well as the sound of her voice will very much be missed. She was the best mom a child could ever wish for, and a cherished “Ammy/Grammy” by her grandchildren. Strong and determined to beat pancreatic cancer, she fought hard. While enduring several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, she NEVER gave up hope. Her memories will fill the hearts of many for years to come and her spirit and strength will stay with us forever. Until we can all wrap our arms around her again in heaven one day, we love you Diane...Mom…Ammy…Grammy…Prima…and Friend.

Born April 19, 1941 in Livermore, California and entered into rest on June 3, 2015 in Fremont, California at the age of 74.

Dan, I am very sorry for your loss. You never displayed your private anguish when you accompanied our choir. May your lovely Diane continue to enjoy heavenly harps, as she must have enjoyed listening to you play. Maureen Clark, Stanford Choir Member

Diane was my dear friend throughout elementary school, including our experiences as Girl Scouts, as well as during our four years at Amador High. Later we reconnected as adults and, with a group of school friends, we met often for lunches that were filled with laughter and many memories of our shared small-town lives. Diane was a loving, creative and talented woman, and I was privileged to have been her friend. My sincere condolences to Dan and to her whole family. We will all miss her terribly but were enriched by having shared our lives with her. Judy Charnow
