Diane Duff, 68, of Strasburg, passed away on October 15, 2023, at the Inn at Northwood Village in Dover, Ohio, following an extended illness. She was surrounded by her loved ones as she peacefully transitioned into eternal rest. Diane was born in Canton, Ohio, on August 18, 1955, to Vincent and Arlene (Erb) Hostetler.
Diane worked at Huntington Bank's Human Resource Department for over 28 years. In addition to her tenure at Huntington Bank, Diane also contributed her talents to the HR Department at Mullet Cabinet for ten years. Her expertise and compassionate approach left a lasting impact on everyone she encountered within these organizations.
She graduated from Louisville High School in 1974 and later earned her Associate's Degree from Stark State.
Beyond her professional achievements, Diane was an avid craftswoman who poured love and creativity into every project she undertook. When not engaged in crafting endeavors, Diane found solace in nature through camping trips and hikes that allowed her to connect with the world around her. Hocking Hills held a particular charm for Diane, serving as a sanctuary where she could rejuvenate amid breathtaking landscapes.
