Dianne Odelle Died

Dianne had lived in an Iron Lung for nearly 60 years. Though she had grown weak over the last few months, the last breath came as the result of a power outage. Her mother's back up generator was not working as well.
She was a high school grad and even wrote a kids book. It was about a tiny star that dreamed about becoming a wishing star.
Maybe Dianne made a wish upon a star.
