In Memoriam – Dianne Ouellet
By Jean Bonar
Dianne Ouellet was a new member of our branch who joined Book Group 8 after moving from
Ashland to a Folsom assisted living facility after her husband’s stroke. She died unexpectedly in
early March after a dental appointment that led to a stroke. She was a long-time friend, very
creative and kind, and I will miss her greatly.
