Obituary of Diane Norris
Please share a memory of Diane to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Diane Susan Faulhaber was born on August 25, 1967 in Wyandotte, Michigan. Diane was born from the marriage of the late Roland Faulhaber and the late Carol "Betsy" (Shockley) Faulhaber.
Diane was known as a caring person. She had worked for several employers throughout the years; but her favorite positions required her serving others. Eight months ago Diane's brother David required a full-time caretaker. Diane stepped up without hesitation moving David into her home and taking him under her wing. She was a family person and cherished the time she was able to spend with them. Diane enjoyed sharing conversation with others, but most of all she was a wonderful listener.
Recently, Diane had found the time to return to school and begin work on acquiring her GED. Diane enjoyed research and used it to learn her family history by studying genealogy.
Diane's hobbies revolved around her love for music. She could often be found listening to music but her favorite pastimes were dancing and karaoke. It wasn't a surprise to those who knew her best that although she didn't have much time to watch television; she was an American Idol fanatic.
Diane Susan Norris passed away tragically on the morning of Thursday, July 9, 2009. In addition to her parents her passing was preceded by a brother: Johnny Faulhaber.
