Our loving mother, Diane Yvonne Cocklin Adye was

to Dean and Nadine Cocklin. June 14, 1953, she
married Gerry Gene Adye and birthed seven beautiful
children. Years after Gerry's death, she married
Myrle Adye, December 12, 1978.
She is preceded in death by her mother and father;
first husband, Gerry; second husband, Myrle;
brother, Jerry Cocklin; sons, Scottie Jo and Kurk
Adye; and grandson’s Todd Blaum and Devon Sykes. She

and Mary Jane Tank; children, Jim (Janice) Adye,
Tamara (Bill) Sykes, Bandy (Kitty) Adye, Wendy Adye,

great-grandchildren.
Diane worked at Lehn and Fink for 29 years. After
retirement, she excelled at running her own cleaning
business for more than 20 years. She was a member of
the Middletown Methodist Church for many years. She
served the Middletown Tree Commission from
1991-1997, of which 3 of those years she was an
Arborist, putting Middletown on the map as Tree City
USA. She was nominated for Citizen of the Year.
Generations of "kids" came to her home annually for
the Halloween popcorn balls. |
Diane is eternally resting after many
years of searching for sleep, at the age of 82. She
was a remarkable woman in every facet of life and
left her legacy everywhere that she touched. She was
a genuine friend to anyone she met. Our family, the
community and the world as a whole has lost a
special soul. She will be greatly missed by all who
knew her.
