Diane M Armstrong, age 76, passed away April 6, 2026, at David Simpson Hospice House in Cleveland, Ohio. She was the first born child to Harold C. Wilkerson and Myrtle J. (Browning) Wilkerson on September 1, 1949, in Painesville, Ohio.

Diane dedicated more than 44 years of service to the Painesville Municipal Court and especially valued her time working with the Honorable Judge Michael Cicconetti.  Family was crucial to her life, and she cherished her great niece, Ashlee Kronik, and great nephew, Cole Kuhn.  A loyal and caring person, Diane enjoyed scrapbooking and loved spending time with her family and friends. She was an avid dog lover and mourned the recent loss of her beloved 17 year old poodle, Cocoa Lee.  Vacations to sunny Florida and Fort Myers Beach were a "must do" for her.

She is survived by her sister, Debbie (Jim) Kuhn, with whom she shared an unbreakable bond; her niece Bridget (Scott) Kronik, and nephew Jim (Jolene) Kuhn. She was the best "AUNTIE" ever.  Diane was blessed with 5 step children, Rick (Shirley) Armstrong, Sharon (Bob, deceased) Fisher, LuAnn (Jerry) Busch, Mark Armstrong, and Teresa (John) Buckman along with 12 step grandchildren and 32 step great grandchildren.  What a beautiful family!

Diane was preceded in death by her husband, Walter Eugene Armstrong in 2010, her brother, Gary Wilkerson, and her parents.

Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, April 14 at the First Baptist Church, 3918 Main St., Perry, Ohio. Visitation from 11am to 12pm, followed by a service at 12pm and a Celebration of Life luncheon.

Donations may be made in memory of Diane Armstrong to the Hospice of the Western Reserve or Reserve Care, 300 East 185th St, Cleveland, Ohio.
