Austintown -Diana Marquette, 80, fell asleep in the Lord, May 31, 2024. Diana was born August 30, 1943, in Youngstown, a daughter of Kenneth and Jean Evich Marquette. After Chaney High School, she was employed many years as a physical therapist assistant at St. Elizabeth Hospital where her mother, Jean, was also employed.
She was an active member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, where she was a member of the Altar & Rosary Society, the Garden Club, Senior Club, and helped organize the church’s annual, week-long Rummage Sale.

She also modeled clothing for Jos. A. Bank women’s wear.
Diana loved her animals, Max The Dog, and Sasha The Cat, and enjoyed visiting area wineries and St. George Croatian Center with her friends and family. She collected cookbooks and recipes, enjoyed ethnic foods, but preferred pizza nearly every day.
