Diane Marie Hall, 50, of Seminole passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 13th at Tampa General Hospital after a three-year wait for a double lung transplant due to Sarcoidosis. She worked for Equifax, Inc for 33 years. She is survived by her mother Josephine Hall, siblings Rosanne Georgia (Rick), Tom, JoAnn Manna and Tim; nephews Jason and Jeffrey Bethell, and Brad Hall; great-niece Arabella and great-nephew Keegan. She is preceded in death by her father Ronald.

Diane was eight years old when she and her family moved from Long Island, NY to Seminole, FL in 1971. She graduated from Dixie Hollins High School in St. Petersburg. She spent most of her life in Seminole except for a few years in the San Francisco Bay Area where she enjoyed traveling and hiking and also earned an Associates degree at Chabot College. She was very close with her family and spent a lot of her free time with them. She enjoyed socializing with friends new and old, including her group of neighborhood friends (a.k.a. "The Bayou Gang"). Diane was an avid reader and movie watcher and loved her Shih-Tzu, Cody. Diane always remained positive throughout her long wait and never gave up. Her quick wit and infectious smile will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in Diane's name to either the SPCA or One Breath At A Time ( www.onebreathatatime.net ).
