Diana Marie (Dean) Smith, of Galeton, PA
Diana Marie (Dean) Smith, of Galeton, PA, born March 4, 1945 to Mary Jordan and Ronald Dean Sr., passed away peacefully on September 21, 2024.
Diana was born in Port Allegany, PA, where some of her most treasured memories were made in the garden with her Grandpa Fred. She was later raised on Germania Street in Galeton. Her childhood days were largely spent in nature marveling at the birds and playing down by the river with her best friend, Lucille. She kept that wild spirit into adulthood and never stopped finding beauty in the outdoors. She was married to, and divorced from, the late Roger Smith. Diana was, at heart, both fiercely independent and a steadfast caregiver, who loved spending time with others.
