Thank you for visiting this memorial page honoring those who either graduated or would have graduated from Granger High School in 1965. We are honoring as many former classmates as we can find who have passed on. They were our friends, associates, teammates and, in some cases, our lifelong partners and companions. We also honor our veterans and those gallant young men who gave their all, in defense of the country they loved so much. To our MIA, James Schiele, we will never forget you and will continue to look forward to the day your remains are returned to the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Thanks to everyone who helped in the development of this memorial page, especially Diane Day Cooper, who would have graduated a Lancer were it not for her parents relocating their family in 1960. Without her, this would not have been possible. Thom Rich

She married Michael Hardy in 1964; together they had four children, one of which died at birth. They were married 24 years. In 1996 she married Rufino Madrigal. Their union gave her three additional sons. Together they had 13 grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. When asked what they remember about Grandma Dianne, "candy and an occasional dollar; but always a hug." Her door was always open to a surprise visit from family and friends.

Dianne had a 35 year career in collections for a variety of companies including First Security, American Savings, and Fairbanks. She was good at her job and was an assert to every company she worked for.

Mom taught each of us kids to work hard and be passionate about what we did. She was a kind, caring, and giving individual. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.
