Diane Powell McMillen, 85, a long-time resident of Clarion, passed away peacefully at her home on October 4, 2023.

Diane was born to Byrum and Kathleen Powell on July 16, 1938, in Brookville, Pa. She attended Clarion State University briefly, leaving to care for her mother before graduation.

Diane grew up worshipping in the Church of God and became fascinated with organ music, collecting hymns worldwide and composing original pieces until her departure. Diane was a woman of great faith, finding inspiration and comfort from her bible and daily devotions.

Diane loved all animals and often adopted unwanted and overlooked dogs and cats. She took great pride in providing food for the birds and squirrels in her backyard. Diane and her husband, Sam McMillen, owned and operated Sam's Texaco in Clarion, establishing long-term relationships with Clarion residents, members of local law enforcement, and those traveling through the Cook Forest area.

Diane dearly loved her family and pets. In addition to many friends and extended family members, she leaves behind sons Dana (Julie) McMahn of Green, OH, Jeffrey (Karen) McMahn of North Canton, OH; grandchildren Riley, Cassidy, Shane, Nicholas, and Katey; Step grandchildren Rachael (Eric), Claire, Erika, Michael and Kristin; Sister Penny (Jim) and very special nephew Shane (Anna) and niece Brianna (Jeffrey) and their children. Diane also leaves two exceptional and spoiled house cats who will miss her love.

Diane was preceded in death by her husband, Sam, her parents, and brother, Doug.
