Dianne Celebre

April 3, 1943 — September 19, 2025

Dianne Kathleen (Williams) Celebre, 82

April 3, 1943 - September 19, 2025

Dianne was born in Detroit, MI to parents Clarence Richard and Jeanne Winifred (Yocum) Williams. Dianne was the oldest of 5 children and grew up in the surrounding area graduating from Mackenzie High School in 1961.

She met the love of her life, Frank, and they traveled the first years of their marriage while Frank served out his time in the U.S. Army. They then settled back in the Detroit suburbs and welcomed two children, Maria and Jeffrey.

Hating the MI winters, in 1976 they moved to Brandon, FL before settling in Altamonte Springs in 1979 where the family grew up and made many fond memories.

Dianne was an avid reader, gardener, video gamer, and she loved to do arts and crafts. She took great delight during the season of Christmas. She was enamored with the lights, decorations, and family togetherness. Every year, she converted the house into a Christmas wonderland of themed trees. Above all, she took great pride in being called a wife, mom, and grammy and devoting herself to her family.

Dianne was predeceased by her parents, her step-father, Gaylord Underwood, whom she lovingly called "daddy" and siblings Elizabeth Saunders and Gaye Ribera.

Dianne is survived by her husband of 64 years, Frank, children Maria and Jeffrey, grandchildren Matthew and Isabella, siblings Constance (Jack) Robinson and James Underwood, three nieces and four nephews.

The family would like to thank the staff and caregivers at Ansley Cove for all the care, support and love they provided to Dianne and the family for the last 9 years.
