Diane Morin

Waterford — Diane Morin, 56, of Waterford passed away at Norwalk Hospital on Tuesday, May 16, 2017. She spent her final hours surrounded by her family.

Diane was the second of five children born to John C. and Magdalena (Leni) Morin. She grew up in Georgetown and attended Wilton Schools. In 1994, she became a certified computerized accounting technician at The Data Institute Business School in Waterbury.

She most recently worked as a treasury manager at MedOptions for nearly 10 years. Diane was a vibrant spirit, and didn’t hesitate to relocate when a new opportunity arose. She has lived in many Connecticut towns, including Georgetown, Newtown and Waterford as well as Greer, S.C.

Diane enjoyed taking long rides on her bike, gardening and spending time with friends and family. She was always happiest when with her loved ones, whether it be sipping a glass of wine with the girls or exploring the National Parks of the western United States with her two sons. Diane lived every day to the fullest, and fearlessly approached every obstacle, including cancer, which she bravely battled with the support of her family and friends.

Diane is survived by her sons, Kyle Gates of Queens, N.Y., and Carey Olsen of Bethel; granddaughter, Apria; mother, Magdalena (Leni) Morin of Georgetown; brother John Morin of Wilton; sister Melanie Mason of Redding; sister Susan Smith of New Milford; brother Andre Morin of Georgetown; and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
