Dianne Chapman Walls, born February 2, 1942 in Gardiner, Maine, entered the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Monday, April 9, 2012, after a catastrophic rupture of a brain aneurysm.
Preceding her in death were her parents, Norman E. Chapman and Beatrice B. Chapman, and a brother, N. Edward Chapman. Dianne's memory will be a blessing and an inspiration to those she left behind: her husband of fifty years, James W. Walls, her son, Peter C. Walls, two grandsons, Benjamin M. Walls and Matthew R. Walls, and a brother, Donald W. Chapman, and many beloved relatives and friends.
Following graduation from Stearns High School (Millinocket, Maine) in 1960, she held numerous administrative positions in Boston, Mass., New Jersey, and Maine. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother. Happiness to her was spending time with family, especially her grandsons. Caring deeply, she purposefully reached out to family, friends, and everyone she met with compassion and empathy. It was her joy to send cards and notes of encouragement to all. Through her volunteer activities in church (currently Crestwood Presbyterian, Midlothian, VA), her son's school and Scout activities, small group ministries, youth prison fellowship ministry, and as a personal caregiver, she was a living witness to God's grace. Her final act of love was organ donation.
There will be a small graveside committal service for family at Gracelawn Memorial Park in Auburn, Maine at a later date. The family asks that friends please spend their precious time with loved ones and if desired make donations to their favorite charity in her memory.
