Diane K. Bradley of Helena, Montana left this world to join her parents and brother the morning of August 18, 2022. She was just two weeks shy of 82. She blessed this world when she was born on September 4, 1940 in Fargo, North Dakota. Diane and her best friend and younger brother Mark worked in their parents' bible bookstore growing up. She graduated high school in 1958 and went to business school for a year. She moved to Helena, Montana shortly after, and met the father of her three beautiful daughters.

One of Diane's favorite things to do was watch her grandchildren and great-grandchildren learn and grow. She had a special love for her life and for her family. She was always the happiest lady. Diane always put everyone before herself and her heart was as big as the sun. She was a beautiful, intelligent, loving, and caring soul, and we'll never be able to replace her or the love she had for us. We just hope there are more people like her in this world.

Diane became a foster grandparent at Central School in the early 2000s. While there, she impacted the lives of so many children and even other adults that got to know "Grandma Diane". She could hardly go out in public without being recognized by at least one of "her kids" from school. Being a foster grandparent for many years was a highlight of her life.

Diane loved everything outdoors, but especially looking for four-leaf clovers in the back yard, frog hunting, smelling the flowers, taking drives in the mountains, and just soaking in the sun. If she could have lived in the forest, she would have!

Diane is survived by her daughters Stacie, Sara, and Samantha; grandchildren Joe, Jaime, Tess, Jason, Jack, Jenna, and Timothy, and many great-grandchildren. She is and always will be our best friend. She gave us love and strength beyond words and we are forever grateful to have had such a wonderful Nana to love and cherish. She will be missed so dearly.

It's only goodbye until we see you again. We love you forever and always, to the moon and back, times a jillion.

Per Diane's wishes, there will be no funeral service. The family will be holding a get-together early next summer, and invite any and all who would like to tell a story about Diane to join.
