Diane Ruth Partridge of Washington Crossing passed away unexpectedly at her home on May 20, 2016.  She was 34. 

Diane is survived by her beloved fiancé and love of her life, Michael Tricarico. 

Born in Langhorne, she was the loving daughter of Julian Partridge and Jean Partridge. 

To capture Diane in a few paragraphs would be impossible. She had a magnetic personality and sense of humor. Diane lit up the room and had an innate ability to make everyone around her feel like they were the single most important person in the world. If you met her for the first time she wanted to know every single thing about and you would be your friend for life soon after that. 

She was a talented artist, having painted mostly modern works, and also was an avid photographer. Diane found peace through her artwork and by using varying media, she hoped to capture the small things that we all see but don’t necessarily take notice of each day. She was also talented in floral arranging and playing the piano. 

The positive qualities Diane possessed are countless. Her perseverance and strength were limitless and she was so very dearly loved by everyone who surrounded her. She will be missed.

In addition to her fiancé and parents, Diane is survived by her sister, Helen Partridge, her brother, Mark Partridge and his wife, Caitlin Morray; her nephews, Alastair and Ewan Partridge; her aunt and uncle, Susan and Alastair Greatbanks; and her cousins, Catherine Greatbanks, Nicola Wood and her husband, Kevin, and Christopher Greatbanks.
