Diana M. Kurucz

Diana M. Kurucz, a radiant soul who brightened the lives of all she encountered, passed away on May 23, 2025, in Dayton, Ohio. She was born on May 10, 1959, in Trotwood, Ohio. Throughout her life, Diana exemplified kindness; she was a devoted friend and an eternal companion to those fortunate enough to know her. With a personality that never knew an enemy, Diana’s caring nature made her a cherished presence in every room she entered. Those who met her found a kindhearted spirit, as she would willingly give the shirt off her back to those in need.

Diana was a passionate individual with a multitude of interests. She found joy in the gentle rhythm of sewing and the beauty of gardening, hobbies that reflected her nurturing spirit. Most dear to her heart was her furbaby, Layla. The bond they shared was a testament to her loving nature, and she devoted herself wholeheartedly to caring for her beloved dog, who has now been reunited with her in a peaceful place.

Diana’s forgiving heart drew many close to her, as evidenced by the enduring friendships she cultivated throughout her life. She leaves behind dear friends Mary Estle, Vickie Bernhard, Kerry Oakley, and Stephen Stanton, who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

In her passing, Diana joins her parents, Joseph and Maud Kurucz; her sister, Kathy Kurucz; and her treasured dog, Layla, in eternal rest. The impact she made on those around her will not be forgotten, and her legacy of love, warmth, and generosity will continue to inspire all who were privileged to know this remarkable woman. As we remember Diana, let us celebrate the wonderful life she lived, a life filled with laughter, caring, and boundless compassion.

A Graveside Service for Diana will be held at a later date at Calvary Cemetery in Dayton.

Memorial Donations may be made to the Local Animal Shelter of your choice in Diana's memory.

"God Called You Home...

God looked around His garden

and He found an empty place.

He then looked down upon this earth,

and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you

and lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful,

He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering.

He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never

get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough

and the hills were hard to climb.

So He closed your weary eyelids,

and whispered,”Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you

but you didn’t go alone,

for part of us went with you

the day God called you home."
