Diane Davy passed away on Saturday August 15, 2020 at Redwood Memorial Hospital. Special thanks to all the doctors and nursing staff for the wonderful care.

Diane was born on April 15, 1952 in Walsenburg Colorado to Steve and Helen Bechaver. She was valedictorian of her class at Walsenburg High School and graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Microbiology.

In 1975 she married George Davy and together raised three sons — Kylar, Adam and Josh. They lived on the ranch at Island Mountain early in their marriage where she could be found splitting multiple cords of wood a day, sewing clothes for the whole family, canning food from the garden, doing ranch work, and chasing three little boys. In 1986 they moved their permanent residence to Fortuna, where they have resided since.

Diane worked at General Hospital as a microbiologist for many years before retiring. She enjoyed her profession and took a lot of pride in her work. Besides work, Diane loved camping, fishing, quilting and had a deep love for her family. She enjoyed many trips to Ruth Lake camping and fishing. When not in a boat fishing, she was an avid quilter and enjoyed attending quilting courses and retreats.
