Obituary of Diane L. Prediger

Diane Loraine Prediger of Ladson, SC, entered to rest on Friday, April 9, 2021 at the age of 71. She was the oldest daughter of the late Willard H. Prediger and Loraine Regina Winschel Prediger Timmerman. She was born on February 17, 1950 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Diane worked with the State of New York’s Department of Health for over 40 years. During the later years of employment, she was able to provide a fun, memory making getaway at Caroga Lake, where she enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, as well as the endless and beautiful view of nature. She later retired and moved to what would become her favorite warm spot on the map – Charleston, SC. She loved the warm weather, the no chance of snow, taking cruises, doing puzzles, listening to some easy music, and let’s not forget, her love of dancing and the NY Giants. She was such a selfless person who always gave her whole heart and was concerned about the people in her life, not the things. She is survived by her children Tracey Hatlee (Wayne) of Clifton Park, NY and Clifford Pfeiffer (Laura) of Ladson, SC; grandchildren Karissa Freemire (Cody), Matthew Hatlee (Liz), Joseph Hatlee, Jacob Hatlee, and Julianna Hatlee. She is also survived by her sister Theresa “Terry” Karlewicz (Don) and brother Mark Prediger. She was predeceased by her parents, Willard H. Prediger and Loraine R. Winschel, daughter Tammy Pallone, grandson Joel Pallone, and brothers Willard Prediger and Luke Timmerman.
