Diane Dorice Frale, 82, of Niles, Michigan, formerly of Harbert, Michigan, passed away on Feb. 6. Sommerfeld Chapel, 15 N. Barton St. in New Buffalo, Michigan, has been entrusted with arrangements.
Diane was born in Chicago on March 15, 1943, and was the only child of Frederick John Frale and Madelene Dorice Bruner.
Diane graduated from Northern Illinois University and taught physical education for many years. But her career love was real estate. Diane renovated homes and resold them well before flipping became popular. She worked in Chicago for many years and ultimately moved full time to Michigan, where she continued selling real estate until her death.
Diane liked to connect with people. She was active in her community and had many friends and colleagues. She was an avid golfer and loved to entertain. Diane loved animals and was a cat whisperer in many ways, taking in and rehoming strays. She was a continuous supporter of the Humane Society as well.
A celebration of life service will be held at a later date.
