Diane E. Zupko 1945-2025

Diane was born Aug. 7, 1945, in Youngstown, a daughter of the late Robert and Elizabeth Milby Ormsby.

She graduated from South High School in 1963 and was a lifelong resident of the Mahoning Valley.

Diane was an office clerk for the Tarmarkin Company in Austintown for most of her career until its closing. She later went to work at Postal Mail Sort for several years before retiring in 2016.

Throughout her life, Diane’s passion was being an aunt to her nieces and nephews. In later years, she enjoyed the company of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Diane was a strong woman who modeled hard work and resilience. She will be remembered for her infectious laugh and smile.

Diane is survived by her brother-in-law, Paul Williams of Poland; a niece, Ashley (Todd) Cade of Durham, North Carolina; a nephew, Dan (Allison) Bradford of Summerville, South Carolina; and several great-nieces and great-nephews.

Besides her parents, Diane was preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband, Robert “Bobby” Zupko, whom she married June 1, 1993, and who passed away June 1, 1997; a sister, Maureen Williams; a brother, Donald Ormsby; and a niece, Melissa Williams.

Per Diane’s request, there will be no calling hours or services at this time.

Diane’s family is extremely grateful for those who touched her life in the past seven years and for their friendship and care that Diane received at The Inn at Glenellen, as well as Shelia, a very special friend.
