June 22, 1942 – October 28, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Dianne Farotte.
Surrounded by her loved ones, she passed peacefully in Redding, California.
Dianne was the devoted mother of four daughters: Kelly Gutierrez, Sheri Huston, Lori Cox, and Karen Cox. She was a loving grandmother to Patrick Huston, Gregory Hansen, Bud Woods, and Taylor Mopress, and a cherished great-grandmother to Carter Gasch, Aspen Huston, and Huggin Hansen.
She is survived by her two sisters, Jeanie Wold and Terry Beveridge, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Dianne worked at Dick’s Bakery in San Jose, California, for many years during and after high school. Later, she began a long and dedicated career with the Lucas Group, where she served as an office manager at several dealerships from 1975 until her retirement.
Family was at the center of Dianne’s life. She spent many summers traveling with her daughters to visit her siblings, cherishing the time they shared together. She taught us the importance of honoring family and respecting one another. She also loved trips to Disneyland and celebrating her birthdays in Reno.
She will be deeply missed, and we will forever hold close the lifetime of wonderful memories she gave us.
A celebration of life will be held at Paine’s Restaurant in Hollister, California, on February 7, 2026. For details, please call 408-804-3367.
