Diane Marie Delashmit, age 78, of Anaheim, CA, went home to the Lord on June 13th, 2024, after a courageous battle with kidney failure.

Born on July 15th, 1945, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Diane was the eldest of six children. In 1958, her family moved to California where she would later build her life and legacy.

In 1964, Diane married the love of her life, Charles Raymond Delashmit. Together, they welcomed their daughter, Rhonda Delashmit, on June 28th, 1965.

Diane dedicated thirty-three years to Pacific Bell Telephone Co., rising through the ranks from entry level to a respected management position through her hard work and dedication. A devout Catholic, Diane's faith was a cornerstone of her life. For fifty-two years, she served as a leader at St. Boniface Catholic Church, including a Sunday school teacher, bereavement committee, and Eucharistic minister, leaving a lasting mark on her community.

Her passion for service extended beyond the church. Diane was a devoted member of the Chino American Legion Auxiliary Unit 299 for fifty-five years, where she held numerous roles; local, state, and national offices including Department President. Her commitment and leadership in these roles were a testament to her spirit and dedication to others.

Diane was a beacon of light, a mentor, and an inspiration to many. Her wisdom, compassion, and unwavering faith will be deeply missed.

Diane is survived by her beloved daughter Rhonda, sisters Karen, Marcella, and Delores, and numerous nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her parents, Esther and Lucious, her husband, Charles Ray, and brothers Melvin and Eugene.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Boniface Catholic Church or Chino American Legion Auxiliary Unit 299, honoring Diane's lifelong dedication to service and faith.
