Diana Lee (Wenger) Massie, (age 78), of Ashland, went to her heavenly home on Sunday, July 27, 2025. Diana was born in New London, Ohio on August 27, 1946 to Alvin and Virginia (Boyd) Wenger. She spent her childhood years living in Ruggles, high school years in Nova, and graduated from Mapleton High School with the class of 1964. Most of her adult life was spent living in New London and Ashland.

Diana worked as a seamstress for 34 years; 5 years at C.E. Wards and 29 years at Kent Sporting Goods, while also raising 3 children. After leaving Kent Sporting Goods, she worked for the Kroger Food Chain. Diana relocated to Prescott Valley, Arizona in 2007 where she retired in 2011. After her father Alvin passed away in 2015, Diana and her mother, Virginia, moved back to the Ashland area.

Diana enjoyed quilting, gourd crafts, oil painting, and photography. But her greatest passion was genealogy. She not only enjoyed researching her own ancestry, but she found great pleasure in finding family history information for other people. Diana was a member of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (Sarah De Forest Chapter in Norwalk, Ohio), Ashland County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary 2178.

Diana is survived by her son Gregory (Pamela) Massie and two daughters, Nishele (Edward) Lenards and Dina Anderson; a sister Donna (Wenger) Fry and niece and nephew Chrissy and Russ Fry; grandchildren Jordan Massie, Peyton Lenards, Bricelyn Anderson, Maisie Lenards, and Shelby (Griffin) Gross; and 5 great grandchildren.
