Diane Sacchetta

Diane Sacchetta, 67, of Northglenn, Colorado passed away on January 11, 2012. Diane was born February 19, 1944 in Fresno, California to Kinzie and Hattie Row. She is survived by her loving husband of 51 years, Denny; daughters Kimberly Ann, Linda Kathleen and Brenda Michelle (Scott Warren Garcia); grandchildren Matthew Ryan Southard, Michael Scott Sacchetta, Stephanie Lynn Southard, Tyler Scott Garcia, Sydney Michelle Garcia and Cody James Garcia. Diane, affectionately known as Grandma, is celebrated for her affinity for sweatpants, American Idol, and Elvis Presley; her spoiling of numerous beloved pets; her ability to take in the neighborhood kids as her own; her undying admiration for John Elway, Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos; but most of all her unconditional love for her husband, daughters, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and cousins. You could always count on Grandma: She was a staple at family gatherings, youth sporting events, rodeos and school functions. She was also a survivor. After being diagnosed in 2009 with breast cancer, Diane endured chemotherapy and radiation, and after a gallant battle was declared cancer-free in 2011. Visitation will be held Monday, January 16, 12-4:30PM. Funeral service Tuesday, January 17 at 1:00 PM at Horan and McConaty Funeral Home located on 9998 Grant Street, Thornton, Colorado 80229.
