WARREN, Ohio (MyValleyTributes) – Diana S. Pugh, 76 of Warren, passed away peacefully Saturday evening, September 24, 2022, at St. Joseph Medical Center in Warren, Ohio, where she received dedicated care from doctors and nurses.

Diana was born on February 2, 1946, in Warren, Ohio, a daughter of Joseph and Sophia (Staviski) Duchnak.

Diana was a 1965 graduate of LaBrae High School and pursued a career in cosmetology.

She worked briefly as a hairdresser and then took a job at Packard Electric, working there until retirement.

Diana was dedicated to her faith and served faithfully as a longtime member of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Warren, where her husband, Gibson Pugh, serves as Church President. She served as a “Garden Angel,” maintaining and caring for the church’s landscaping. She also enjoyed pinching perogies during the week with her friends at church.

Diana enjoyed traveling and camping in her RV with her husband and family, often crossing the country to visit family and friends that she loved so dearly.
