Sister Dianne joined the Ursuline community September 12, 1957 from St. Timothy Parish. She served almost three decades as a classroom teacher in primary grades in parish schools throughout the diocese, including Immaculate Conception (Willoughby), St. Catherine, St. Therese, St. Robert, St. Francis de Sales, St. Charles and Holy Cross. Since that time, she has been engaged in service within the congregation, as assistant to the congregational treasurer in the areas of maintenance, buildings and grounds, and housekeeping. One of her most memorable assignments was caring for Bess, a Border Collie, ‘employed’ for goose control. Sister Dianne currently resides at Merici Crossings.
