Obituary for Diane Lee Desrochers
Dateline: Acton, Maine
Diane Lee Desrochers (Dunnells), 74, of Acton, passed away Sunday, April 16, 2023, at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough following a 3-year battle with cancer.
Diane was born August 7, 1948, in Dover, NH, the daughter of Leopold J. and Claire Dagenais LeBlanc, and is a graduate of Dover High School, class of 1967.
She was employed with several local companies, most recently, as a commercial cleaner with ServPro.
Diane loved to shop, and greatly appreciated the convenience of QVC and the Home Shopping Channel. She enjoyed going out to eat and good food, especially a yummy taco salad or pier fries. Diane had a soft spot in her heart for animals, especially her dog Dusty, who passed over the rainbow bridge last year, and Kit-Kat, the newest member of the family. She enjoyed weekends at the campground, in the RV, with her husband. Traveling was an adventure for Diane, and she was always ready for a road trip when someone else created the itinerary.
She is predeceased by her parents and her sister, Gloria Houde.
Survivors include her husband, Richard “Dick” Desrochers of Acton, ME; her daughter, Joyce Dunnells and husband, Michael Staples; her siblings, Richard LeBlanc and wife Priscilla, Renee Wormell and her husband William, her brothers-in-law Norm Desrochers and wife Sandy, Eric Desrochers and wife Gina, sisters-in-law Denise Waterhouse and husband Dean, and Diane Desrochers and partner Rick Chenard. Stepchildren include Chris Desrochers and fiancée Nicole Gagne, Jeremy Desrochers and wife Kim, Candace Desrochers and husband Rick Cormier, and four step grandchildren.
Surviving nieces and nephews include Amie Cline and husband Charles, Tina Newberry, Richard LeBlanc and wife Veronica, and Nicole Baines and husband Paul.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, June 3, 2023, at the Trafton Senior Center, 19 Elm Street, Sanford, ME.
Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made in Diane's memory to Maine Health Cancer Care Center of Sanford, 27 Industrial Ave, STE 101, Sanford ME 04073.
