Diane Carey Huffman

Diane Carey Huffman passed away on December 24, 2020 at the age of 88. She was born on August 16, 1932 to Effie and George Carey. Diane Louise was the youngest of four children, (Annetta, Carmen, Dick). Growing up in Solomons, Maryland, daughter to a Waterman, she enjoyed sunrises on the Chesapeake Bay and sunsets overlooking the Patuxent River. Island life included eating oysters or soft-shell blue crab, enjoying oodles of Effie's crabcakes, fishing, and miles of rowing to visit friends. Diane graduated from Western Maryland College (McDaniel College) and taught Biology at Hampstead High School in Carroll County, Maryland. She married George Huffman in 1957 and moved from Annapolis, Md. to Phoenix, AZ in 1959. Diane loved bowling, reading, playing cards, singing and playing handbells in the church choir, slipping in a quick witted one-liner, even in church plays. She was always ready for an adventure or trip to see nature's beauty. Diane is survived by her daughters Kim (David Keogh) and Valerie Huffman. She was preceded in death by her husband, George Huffman.
