Dianne M. Toolan
December 17, 1969 – October 6, 2024
Dianne M. Toolan, 54, of Summerhill, NY, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family after a brave battle with cancer.
A dedicated professional, Dianne worked for 37 years at P&C Fresh in Cortland, most recently as a bookkeeper. She had previously been employed at Brown's Grocery in Preble. Dianne cherished her time spent with family, especially camping at Port Bay, and baking her famous Christmas cookies. She loved shopping, visiting farmers markets, and exploring back roads.
Dianne is survived by her husband of 24 years, James F. Toolan; her daughters, Heidi Chamberlain (Jared Moore) and Veronica Clarke (Vincent), both of Summerhill, and their doodle dog sister Stella; her stepson, Michael F. Toolan; two grandchildren, Aiden and Iris; her brother, Frank Lewis (Debbie); and her beloved "grandpups," Arlo, Rowdy, and Ryker. She was also a sister, aunt, cousin, and a mentor to many. Dianne was predeceased by her first husband, David Chamberlain in 1996.
Her family expresses deep gratitude to the HOA of CNY, Crouse Hospital, P&C, TLC Ambulance, and all the family and friends who supported Dianne during this difficult time.
A celebration of Dianne's life will be held in the summer of 2025. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her honor be made to the Crouse Little Fighters Club (Crouse NICU), or Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Shurtleff Funeral Home, Groton, and condolences may be shared at www.shurtleffservices.com.
