Obituary
Diane Elizabeth Hagedorn

Apex, North Carolina

Age 76.
Died 4/21/2025.

In Loving Memory of Diane Elizabeth Hagedorn June 2, 1948 – April 21, 2025 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Diane Elizabeth Hagedorn, who left us peacefully on April 21, 2025, in Apex, North Carolina, surrounded by love. Born on June 2, 1948, in Toledo, Ohio, Diane brought warmth, joy, and a spark of something truly special into every life she touched. She spent much of her life in the suburbs of Chicago, a city she held dear in her heart. The vibrant energy and culture of the "BIG city" spoke to her spirit. For the past 29 years, Diane made her home in Cary, North Carolina, where she built a beautiful life filled with family, friendships, memories, and love. Diane was many things—strong, stylish, witty, and always unforgettable. Her smile could light up any room, and her laugh was contagious, leaving a trail of joy in its wake. She was truly one of a kind—our Miss Diva Di, full of grace, charm, and a sparkle that never faded. Though her presence will be deeply missed, we find comfort in knowing she has ascended to a heavenly place, free from pain, filled with eternal love and everlasting peace. She is lovingly survived by her sister, Annette Simon, and brother-in-law, Gabriel Simon; her daughter, Hollie Quinn; son-in-law, Cameron Quinn; grand-dog, Rufus; and son, Bradley Hagedorn. She is also survived by her nieces and nephews: AnneMarie Simon, Jeffery Simon and his wife, Renee Simon, and Ryan Simon. All of her beloved relatives, along with so many dear friends, mourn the loss of a truly remarkable woman. There is no service scheduled at this time. In honor of Diane, her daughter Hollie kindly asks that you take a quiet moment to remember her—perhaps while releasing a balloon in her memory. Let it rise high, just like her spirit always did. Please reach out to Hollie directly with any questions. Rest in beauty and serenity, Diane. Your light continues to shine in our hearts.

For additional information or for service details, please reach out to the family directly.
