Diane Mayle

Diane Marie Mayle passed away on July 12, 2022 in Maumee, Ohio, shortly after being surrounded with love from her entire family who were visiting for the Fourth of July holiday. Diane was born on April 19, 1939 in Detroit, Michigan to William and Corrine (Norman) Kenney. She was the third of seven children. She attended and graduated from Immaculata High School in 1957. Following her graduation, she became a licensed practical nurse (LPN). She met Lou Mayle who was studying at the University of Detroit. They both came from large extended families, and had a shared love for their Catholic faith. She married Lou on July 6, 1963 in Detroit. Following their marriage, Lou and Diane moved away from their families to Toledo, pioneering a new life there. They welcomed their three children in Toledo: LuAnn, Marianne and Lou Jr. As a mother, Diane was very active in her children's lives, school and community. She became a girl scout leader and founder of the Parent Teacher Organization at Notre Dame Academy. She carried this care and dedication throughout her life, being affectionately known as "Grammy" to her eight grandchildren and often serving as babysitter, Broadway singer and fierce opponent in dominoes. She and Lou loved to travel, spend time with their families, and enjoyed many years of close friendships both in Ohio and in their second home in Florida. She was a devoted Catholic and faith played an integral role in her life. She instilled a strong foundation of Catholicism in her family and remained active in her church throughout her life. Diane is survived by three children, LuAnn Marie (Thomas) Gabel, Marianne Marie (James) McNerney, Louis Anthony (Dawn) Mayle; grandchildren Colleen (Christopher Omahan), Meghan, and Tommy Gabel; Kyle (Cindy), Colgan and Emily McNerney; and Corinne and Teddy Mayle; great-grandchildren Maeve and Brady McNerney. A Memorial Mass will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 16 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 6149 Hill Ave., Toledo, Ohio, where the family will greet guests beginning at 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow in Resurrection Cemetery. The family would like to thank healthcare providers Tammy Rockwell, Amber Collins, Dr. Pamela Humpel, and the doctors and nurses at St. Luke's hospital for their exceptional care and love shown to Diane and her family. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes for contributions to be made to Our Lady of Lourdes or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
