Diane Elaine Thibodeau passed away peacefully on November 24, 2024 at the age of 76 after contending with vascular dementia. Born on October 10, 1948, she grew up in New Britain, CT, a town she often spoke of fondly. She was a devoted mother and fastidious woman who took pride in her wit, borne from a lifetime of reading and appreciation of English. In addition to enjoying word puzzles, she followed creative pursuits such as ceramics, knitting, and cross-stitching.
Diane was a conscientious employee in her career at CSE Credit Union, and considered many of her co-workers as friends. Her retirement was spent appreciating the small things in life, including her cats Rosie and Mitzi. Diane is survived by her husband, Paul Thibodeau; son, Steve Thibodeau; step-daughters Donna Gray and Karen Pietruszkiewicz; grandchildren, Jay Gray, Summer Gray, and Matthew Pietruszkiewicz; and many loving family members and friends.
