Diane C. Lupi, 76, of North Port, Florida, passed away on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, at her home with friends and family present.
Diane was born in Queens, NY, to John and Anna Mae Lannon.

All of this while raising three beautiful daughters. One of her many passions in life was helping and mentoring family members and coworkers. Always ready to listen and help. As a hospice nurse she used these skills to help many families during difficult times. Diane loved anything involving the sun and the beach. She enjoyed hiking, reading, kayaking, and spending time with the family and friends.
She is survived by her beloved husband James (Jimmy) Lupi, adopted sister Forrest Fogelberg, daughters Kerrie Burg, Kim Barnabe and Jennifer Smets; eight grandchildren, three great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Can't begin to tell you how sad Diane's passing means to us! She was a voice to be reckoned with especially if she had a different option but she always did it in a quiet calm way. She was a gentle caring and very loving woman who new how to make all individuals feel good about themselves. She also had a wonderful knack of putting into perspective any problems and how to solve them brought to her by friends and family alike. After came the all knowing smile and a wink! She knew her cancer was back and she fought to the very end.We know she was welcomed into heaven by the Lannon & Lupi family members and will be looking down on all us remaining family & friends on earth! We will always love and miss you! Mary and Joe Lupi

My nana was one of the coolest people I have ever known. I loved visiting her in Oregon at her and pop pops ice cream shop, and going on runs with her early in the mornings. I loved every moment I spent with her, and will miss her for the rest of my life. Love you nana

I was so lucky to have such a wonderful Nana. I will never forget all the adventures she took Ben and I on…..hiking, kayaking, and spending time in her and pop pop’s ice cream shop over the summer. These are some of my earliest and most fond memories and I will cherish them forever. I will never forget the way she used to say “nudge” it makes me smile every time I think about it. Nana I hope you are in paradise now. I will continue to think of you and smile every time I see a flamingo. I love you with my whole heart.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I tried to watch the live stream of the service but was notable to. I called for service but only a message.
The memory video was beautiful! I’m Glad igot to watch that.
Love to all! ❤️

I knew Aunt Diane through my wife Marianne who is her niece.. Diane was a close friend and mentor to Marianne and she always stayed in touch.. For many years when Diane and Jimmy lived in California she would always invite Marianne, myself and our daughter Nicole to their home to share a meal and spend time with them. and their family. They were special times and especially during the holidays. Thank you Diane for your kindness, caring and generosity. . Hope to see you again on the beach some day. Love Chris Gilliams

Diane had a way of making people feel comfortable. If you were a new neighbor, she would bake cookies or a pie to welcome you. If you were a friend or relative she knew how to comfort you in times of distress. Even with all the health issues she had, she was our 'go to' person!
Diane is truly a person that will be missed by many.
