Diane Rose Radzavage, of Bradenton, loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend left this world fighting on August 27, 2022, at age 77.
She was born January 16, 1945, in Philadelphia, PA to the late Anne Conn. Diane graduated from Hallahan High School in Philadelphia. She was married to Greg Radzavage for 35 years until his untimely death in September of 1998. She worked for Abington Hospital in the Admissions Department and was promoted to a Systems Analyst position until her retirement in 2006 when she retired to Bradenton, Florida.
She was an active lifetime member of the Anna Maria Moose Lodge where she provided years of service working and volunteering and met lifelong friends. Diane could often be found enjoying sunsets, a cold beer and Maryland Blue Crabs or leading the conga line on the dance floor. She was an avid reader, fascinated by The Royal Family and enjoyed mysteries and crime shows. Mom was a true practicing Catholic. Her favorite St Anthony was always her saving grace when it came to finding her misplaced items, St. Anthony always came through!
She will mostly be missed by her only daughter and best friend Megan Radzavage-Bratlee whom she adored. She was blessed with three grandchildren Gregory, Colin and Julianna. She tolerated her son-in-law, Dean, although came to love him as a son. Diane was a lover of all animals, in particular her 7 grand-pups.
It gives us peace to know she is in heaven amongst the angels, with her husband Greg, her mother Anne, her brother Steven, her cousin Cathy and sister-in-law Joan Marie.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Anna Maria Moose Lodge at a later date. Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory 43rd Street Chapel, 604 43rd Street West Bradenton, FL 34209 is In charge of arrangements.
