Diane Gross (née Lindahl), 68, of New Port Richey, FL, passed away peacefully at her home on Sunday, September 27.

A devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Diane was the heart of her family. Known affectionately as “Auntie Chili” to her nieces and nephews, she found her greatest joy in spending time with her three daughters and grandchildren, playing games, sharing laughs, or enjoying nights out at Bingo with her sisters.

She was welcomed into Heaven by her late husband, Roger; her parents, Nancy and Richard; her stepfather, Tom; and her stepmother, Mary.

Diane’s memory will be cherished forever by her surviving family: her children, Kelsey (Shawn), Kylie, and Kayce (A.J.); her precious grandchildren, Caleb and Addison; her bonus grandchildren Maggie and Jayce; her loving significant other, Barry; her grandpups, Waffles and Murphy; her siblings, Debra (Curry), Dale, Donna, and Rick (Christine); and her brothers-in-law Kevin (Patty) and Brian (Beth); along with a large circle of loving nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.

She is profoundly missed and will be lovingly remembered by all whose lives she touched.

Family and friends will have a private celebration of life at a later date.
