Diane and her younger sister Joyce were raised in a loving home, eventually graduating from Mayfield School in nearby Pasadena. During the Korean War, Diane moved to Japan, where she worked as a secretary for the military. It was there that Diane met her lifelong love, Angelo (Angie) Kolvas who served as First Lieutenant in the Army. The two were married in 1952 and began their lives together in West Covina, California. Diane enjoyed a long and successful career with the Xerox Corporation in Pasadena, retiring in 1992.
