Diane Peachey: Everyday Hero

Diane has been a CASA volunteer for seven years. She has worked with thirteen children during that time. Last summer, a brother and sister case Diane was appointed to for five years and a single child case she served, since he left the hospital as a newborn, for the three years, were all adopted into great families. Their adoptions were an experience Diane was so thankful to share with the families.

Diane became a CASA volunteer after retiring from banking. During her many years in banking she held the positions of teller, branch manager, internal auditor and operations officer. During her time in the working world, Diane worked on several community projects and has continued to do so since retirement. The most current projects Diane is working on are building a skate park in Kendallville and volunteering with the Noble Trails project whose goal is to complete a walking, jogging, biking trail in Noble County.  Diane is a member of the Kendallville BZA and her church’s finance committee. Diane started taking horseback riding lessons a couple years ago and bought a horse last year. Her first love is horse racing. Spending time at her cottage is her summer thing.
