Diana Humphrey passed peacefully into heaven on April 29, 2021, at the age of
75 years. Her selfless nature will be missed by many - for the love she gave
freely and for her many acts of kindness. She was known by family and close
friends as DiDi, Mom, Nana, Cousin Diana, Mrs. Humphrey, Mama Humps, and
(simply) Ma. She was a reserved woman who lived a quiet life. However, she
was also a strong and independent woman, a faithful wife, a kind and loving
mother, and a devout stewardship-driven Catholic. Those she worked with knew
her as an office manager at Process Automation for nearly 20 years, or as a
bookkeeper in the years thereafter.

Twenty-one years ago, Diana was given a second chance at life when she
received a heart transplant at New England Medical Center (now Tufts) in
Boston. Diana's faith helped her through illness for 12 years and the heart
transplant was her miracle. Diana was so grateful for the gift, which she received
from an unknown donor, that she raised funds and participated in the American
Heart Association's Heart Walk in order to help provide the same opportunity for
others. She also participated in the heart transplant support group, working with
people either awaiting a new heart or those who had recently received one.

Diana was the daughter of Thomas and Bertha Grady. She was raised in
Providence, Rhode Island, was a student at Saint Raymond School, and was a
1963 graduate of Saint Francis Xavier Academy in Providence, Rhode Island.
Diana and her husband, Alan R. Humphrey (1943-2017), resided in Seekonk,
Massachusetts for over 50 years. She is survived by her sister, Carol Grady; her
children and their families Jennifer and William McCaughey, Russell and Lisa
Humphrey, Jessica Victorelli and Scott Rachal, Jodie Humphrey and Peter
Figueiredo, and Dustin and Jaclyn Humphrey; her godchild, Lisa Cardello; seven
grandchildren, two great-grandchildren; aunts; cousins; nieces and nephews; and
her faithful dog Emma-Lou.

Diana's second family consisted of her fellow parishioners. She was an integral
member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel church in Seekonk, Massachusetts since
the 1960s. She was an active participant in the prayer group, teacher in the
catechism program, and contributed countless hours of volunteer work for the
parish. In 2016, Diana received a Marian Award from the Fall River diocese for
her dedicated service to the Catholic faith, her church, and the diocese.

A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of Mount Carmel (984
Taunton Avenue; Seekonk, MA 02771) on Friday, June 11 at 10:00 AM.
Receiving will take place immediately after the ceremony and will be followed by
the interment of her cremated remains at the Town of Seekonk Cemetery.

Di­ana had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to meet and to love many of her grand­chil­dren,
which would nev­er have been pos­si­ble with­out her heart trans­plant. In lieu of
flow­ers, please con­sid­er do­nat­ing to the Amer­i­can Heart Asso­ci­a­tion
