Diane D. Parson's Obituary
Diane D. Parson, age 81 of Milton DE, passed away on June 26, 2023, after a short, unexpected illness. She was born on October 22, 1941, in New York, NY, daughter of the late Arthur and Edna Dietze.
In 1965, Diane met William Parson in New York and married. They went on to have two boys, William, Jr. and Jeffery. Well-traveled throughout her entire life, Diane visited Africa, Europe, China, Mexico, and countless other countries. After 40 years living in River Vale, NJ and raising her family, she retired from the Internal Revenue Service to Delaware, to be near her brother and sister. She enjoyed playing cards with her friends, road trips with her siblings, and always her Dobermans. Her favorite times were spent walking her Dobermans and visiting her children and grandchildren.
Diane was preceded in death by her husband, William Parson. She is survived by her children: William and Jeffery Parson; her grandchildren: Tessa, Emma, Violet, William, Sophia, and Madeline; her sisters: Dagmar, Dayrel, and Debbie; and her brother Arthur.
