Diane Deering passed away peacefully on June 25, 2021, following a valiant fight with cancer.  Diane was born on June 8, 1951, in Chicago to Richard and Betty Noe. Diane lived in Chicago in the very early years with her Dad, Mom, and older sister Carole.  Her mother passed away when the girls were young  (six and four) and Richard moved the girls to Oak Park where they were parishioners of Ascension Church.  Diane attended Ascension Grade School, Guerin High School, and Dominican University.
