Diane Arvilla Wainwright, a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on January 29, 2025, at the age of 63. She was born on April 6, 1961, in Blossburg, PA, and was raised in Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Her parents made their home in Knoxville, PA, where she grew up surrounded by family and the beauty of the Pennsylvania countryside.

She was predeceased by her parents, Edith and Burwyn Wainwright; her brother, Lynn "Chico" Weiskopff; and her nephew, Tyler Dean.

Diane is survived by her daughter, Noel Parker of Macedon, NY; her beloved grandchildren, Bryce, Abram, and Malachi Wilson of Westfield, PA, and Ezra Parker of Macedon, NY. She is also survived by her siblings, Debra Hinman of Osceola, PA, Darcy Wainwright of Tioga, PA, Charley Wainwright of Tuscarora, NY, and Carl Wainwright of Tioga, PA; her mother-in-law, Beverly (Gordon) Stanton of Palmyra, NY; her best friend, Tracy Parker of Ontario, NY; and her beloved kitty, Gracie May.

Diane had a deep love for life and found joy in the simple pleasures. She had a deep love for gardening, finding peace and happiness in nurturing plants and flowers. She enjoyed birdwatching and found beauty in the simple moments of nature. Rock and roll music was the rhythm of her soul, and she never missed a chance to turn up the volume and sing along. With a talent for crocheting, she created beautiful and heartfelt pieces for those she loved. She embraced laughter, good company, and cherished every moment spent with family and friends. Diane also had a love for doing her nails, always keeping them bright and beautiful, a reflection of her vibrant spirit.

With a compassionate and giving nature, Diane was a dedicated caregiver in her field of employment. She touched many lives with her kindness, patience, and ability to bring comfort to those in need. She was known for her love of people, and her warm and welcoming presence.

Her kindness, warmth, and zest for life will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Though she has left this world, her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched.

A celebration of Diane's life will be held at a later date. To honor her memory, the family invites you to plant something in her name, play your favorite rock song, or simply share a moment of joy with those you love.
