Diane truly loved being around the children in her own family and those in her classroom, as a child’s curiosity and excitement brought much joy to her days. She was eager to hear updates and keep in touch with former students’ even decades after they left her classroom. Surviving in addition to her mother are; a brother, Richard Metz (Karen) of Williamsport; two nieces, Kara Williams (Garret) of Williamsport and Kelsey Swift (Davis) of Trout Run; two great nephews, Gavin and Levi; a great niece, Evienna; and many dear friends.
