2016 Diana Teller

DIANA TELLER

Organ, Tissue, and Cornea Donor

Age 76 ~ San Diego, CA

Donated on 05/10/2015

Honored by dignitymemorial.com

Diana was a creative, vivacious, adventurous woman who intended to live to 108 years old. She took up scuba at 73, traveled avidly, adored her dogs and enjoyed music of all types. She had even made plans to fulfill a long held dream by spending her 77th birthday (Oct. 2015) learning Italian in Florence, Italy.  She was a sister, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, but most of all matriarch to her family. Quite suddenly and unexpectedly, on the day after Mother’s Day 2015, she had a massive cerebral hemorrhage.   Diana had signed up to be a donor years ago at the DMV.  Although she wasn’t able to donate her brain for research as she had wanted, her loving, kind and generous spirit lives on in the two lives that were saved with her liver and kidney.

Diana’s Story

Diana was a creative, vivacious, adventurous woman who intended to live to 108 years old. She took up scuba at 73, traveled avidly, adored her dogs and enjoyed music of all types. She had even made plans to fulfill a long held dream by spending her 77th birthday (Oct. 2015) learning Italian in Florence, Italy.

She was a sister, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, but most of all matriarch to her family. Quite suddenly and unexpectedly, on the day after Mother’s Day 2015, she had a massive cerebral hemorrhage.

Diana had signed up to be a donor years ago at the DMV.  Although she wasn’t able to donate her brain for research as she had wanted, her loving, kind and generous spirit lives on in the two lives that were saved with her liver and kidney.  Many others will benefit from the gift of her corneas, tissue and bone. We were pleased to be able to honor her wish to help others.
