Diana was a graduate of Knoch High School and continued her education at Carnegie Technology, majoring in Spanish. She later graduated with a B.S. degree from Slippery Rock University, majoring in English and minoring in history. After publishing her extensive genealogy research in the book “From the Archives of Butler County, Pennsylvania,” she was considered the foremost regional expert in her field.
