She met and later married Alexander H. DeLorie, a fellow railroader on May 7, 1993, and the two were joyfully married every day since. Devotion to her family and selflessness fueled her passion for volunteerism. Diane began her volunteer work as a teenager when she worked as a candy striper in a local hospital.
