As an adult she relocated to Fort Edward, New York and moved to Mount Dora from there in 1989. Diane moved back to Maryland to assist her father until he passed away. She returned to Mount Dora in in 2007. All the while she proudly worked at McDonald’s in all of the places she lived, providing over 20 years of service until she retired in 2006.
