Mrs. Crisp was a member of the United States Canoe Association. She was an EMT for the Benton County Ambulance Service. She enjoyed spending time with her family and especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed reading and river running. She never met a stranger and seemingly wore a sign that said "talk to me." She was like a second mother to many kids. The family would like to thank the Rensselaer Care Center for the special care shown to Diana and her family for the last two years.

Visitation will be from 12 noon to 2 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 27, at Frain Mortuary Querry-Ulbricht Chapel, Francesville. The funeral service will follow at 2 p.m. (Sunday), at the funeral home with  Pastor James Kethchen officiating. Burial will be at Roseland Cemetery, Francesville at a later date.
