Dianne Grant

April 13, 1946 — April 15, 2019

Dianne Grant, age 73 of Suffield Twp., Ohio, died on Monday, April 15, 2019 at Akron General Medical Center.

She was born on April 13, 1946 in St. Paul, MN, the daughter of the late Clifford Berdit and Mary Ann (nee Rutkowski) Garner, but lived most of her life here in the Akron area.

Dianne was a homemaker who loved to play bingo, garden, the outdoors, fish, play cards, and ride on the motorcycle with her husband, John. She loved to entertain friends and family with backyard parties. Dianne worked very hard and had several jobs that had interested her. Dianne's greatest interest and joy was spending time with her family. Everyone that knew Dianne will miss her beautiful smile.
