Dianne Medoro Obituary

Colorado Springs - Dianne Sena Medoro, a long-time resident of the Colorado Springs area, peacefully entered heaven on Friday the seventh of April at her home. Dianne was born in 1936 in Newburgh, NY. and moved to Coral Gables, FL, where as a young girl she became well known as a beauty pageant winner, model, and equestrian. Unbeknownst to her, while in junior high at St. Theresa's Catholic School, Dianne met her soulmate and love of her life, Johnny, and they were married in 1956. During their 56 years of marriage, Dianne and Johnny loved travelling, motorhoming, good food, good wine, and good friends. There wasn't a challenge in this world that couldn't be solved around their Italian dinner table. The center of her world was "La Famiglia"; especially her four daughters, whom she leaves with a legacy of love and irreplaceable memories. Dianne had a wonderful smile that could light up a room and a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. Dianne and Johnny made annual trips to Colorado to ski, and truly believed this is God's country. They loved it so much they moved to Colorado Springs in 1984 to enjoy their retirement.

Dianne has been reunited in death with her husband, Johnny. She is survived by her loving daughters, Dana Medoro, Jodi and Doug Vaughn, Maria and Fritz Heck, and GiGi and Michael Whited and her adoring grandchildren, Danielle Medoro (fiancé Brad); Johnny, Nicholas, and Gregory Vaughn; Katelyn and Justin Doss, Tyler (fiancé Kelly) and Hunter Heck; and Dante and Gabriella Whited.

Dianne was the consummate wife, mother, and "Mommom." She had a quiet strength, endless patience, eternal optimism, and limitless love for everyone. Words cannot express the loss we feel, but we will always cherish her life and the memories we share with her. We have been blessed to have been a part of her life and her love.
