Diane Barbara Dick

Diane Barbara Dick, age 67, of Bloomsburg, passed away on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at her home. She was born on Monday, April 4, 1955 in Philadelphia, a daughter of the late Charles and Barbara (Brown) Oliver. Diane graduated from the Archbishop Prendergast Catholic High School, Drexel Hill, PA in 1974. Following her dreams of being close to the ocean she moved to Delaware in 2009. In 2010 she purchased her first home in Millsboro, DE outside of Rehoboth Beach. In most years Diane's courageous and lengthy battle against myeloma was so long and exhaustive that after almost five years she left with us and this world, her most prized possession, her best creation, and her best friend...her son Derek. Their dedication and determination to fight this illness together, regardless of time and expense is their story. A mother who carries for just a few short months a son, he now carries with him her heart and dreams for the rest of his life. He will be forever grateful to the family, friends, and medical professionals who helped throughout these difficult years. The memories, laughter, and unconditional love will be forever cherished. Ending with one of Diane's favorite quotes, "She believed she could, so she did." Heaven has truly gained an angel. In addition to her parents, Diane was also preceded in death by a brother, Charles "Chuck" Oliver. Survivors include her two sons, Derek D. Dick of Bloomsburg, Joseph LaRosa of Philadelphia, her ex-husband, David E.
