REMEMBERING
DIANE SIDDONS
Diane Siddons, age 87,
passed away peacefully with her family
by her side on
Wednesday, May 22,
2024, following her
brave struggle with
ALS. It was during a
career in public
accounting where she met the love of her life,
Ernie Siddons.They knew each other for 70 years
and were married for 63 years. Together they
raised three children, David (Stephanie), Jane
Herrmann (George Thompson) and Edward (Kim)
and have eight grandchildren; Riley, Matt, Haley,
Will, Emmie, Annabel, Jake and Katie. Diane is also
survived by her brother Roger Jones.
A highlight for Diane was bringing her family
together throughout the year with holiday
traditions hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas
dinners, Boxing Day, birthdays and organizing the
annual family vacation to Hilton Head Island. Diane
and Ernie traveled extensively during their
marriage. Her favorite destination of all was the
Cotswolds which she always thought to be one
of the most beautiful parts of England.
Diane will be remembered for her love of her
family, her beautiful blue eyes, her British accent
and green thumb. She was a wonderful, caring
person and was blessed to have many meaningful friendships. We are so grateful to those who
honored Diane with gifts to Live Like Lou.
