Diana N. Primavera

Diana Primavera was born in Stratford, CT on January 7, 1940, to parents

Dewey & Nora Primavera. Both parents were first generation Americans &

both of Italian descent. Diana grew up in Stratford with many cousins & friends,

and graduated from Stratford High School. Diana and her parents worked for

a brake factory in the Stratford area.

In 1981, Diana and her parents retired and moved to Tampa, FL into Sheldon West mobile home park.

Diana enjoyed many Sunday dinners with cousins, aunts & uncles who had also moved to Florida.

After Sunday lunch, the pinochle games would last for hours.

After her parents' passing, she was very involved in her park

activities. For over twenty plus years, she set up bingo every Friday night,

helped pass out the monthly newsletters (walking miles throughout the park),

and set up for monthly Board meetings. She was honored yearly by the HomeOwners Association

for the countless volunteer hours she willingly gave to the park.

Diana and her parents were members of the

Incarnation Catholic Church in Tampa for over 40 years.

The church and her park was her source of joy, fulliment, and social activities.

Diana never drove, but could direct you to anywhere in her area.

She remembered everyone's birthdays, anniversaries and phone numbers

with no address book.

In 2024, Diana moved from her beloved park and moved to Lakeshore Manor

in Sebring FL to be closer to her cousins, (who are present today) and her

Godson, and his wife,(who are present today).

Diana, with her outgoing personality, quickly adjusted to her new home and

new friends. Her meal times were a social event, first one down to the dining room,

the last one to leave. Her hair and nails were a weekly event, with plenty of

fun and conversation. As Diana walked the halls of Lakeshore Manor, she

always had a smile and "hello" for everyone. She will be missed by her family and friends.
