Dianne’s career was in the banking industry, she spent many years until her retirement as the Manager of Ke-So Federal Credit Union in Fairfield.

Dianne loved words, she was an avid player of Scrabble (a fan of Scrabble Go), never met a crossword puzzle she didn’t enjoy, and happily corrected you if you mispronounced a word. She never met a cat, dog or bird that she didn’t like. She enjoyed taking vacations with her Aunt Rita and the stories they came back with were hysterical.

Dianne is survived by her son Bryan H. Knowles and his wife Linda of West Gardiner, their daughters Alexandra (Lexie) Knowles and her husband Anthony (Andy) Rice of Roswell, Ga., Deserae Knowles of West Gardiner, great-granddaughter Summer Knowles of West Gardiner.
