Growing up, her dad recognized her love for horses and purchased a small farm for her to ride on. Here she got her first pony Poncho and later, her horse Doll. She won Poncho by selling the most Mountain Home News Subscriptions. On June 19th of 1970, she married her high school sweetheart, Lee Centers. Lee and Dianne made their home in Meridian, Idaho.

Dianne was an amazing seamstress, quilter, and painter. She loved instructing and participating in yoga, doll making, long walks in the mountains, cooking, and her vacations to Featherville and Scottsdale Arizona. She also loved spending time with her family. Dianne was the sweetest wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She peacefully passed away on the morning of April 16th, 2023 in the comfort of her own home. There she was cared for by her family and friends. Her faith was always strong in the Lord and evident throughout her life. Join us to celebrate Dianne’s life on April 23rd at Still Water Hollow.

A poem Keziah wrote for her grandmother….
Her paintings speak the languages of old weathered donkeys.
Voices of feathered women, and bejeweled mermaids.
She tells the tales of the mystical and beyond, through a colored world,
an abstract eye.
To show the magic we possess within.
To show us what is beyond and inside.
