Celebrating the Life of
September 26, 1956 — December 3, 2023
We sadly announce the passing of Diana Marisa Fierro, a glowing beacon of kindness and joy, who left us on December 3, 2023. Born on September 26, 1956, Diana lived a fulfilling life, sprinkling joy and laughter wherever she went.
She is survived by her cherished children Yamel Castro, Geno Castro, Diandra Arias, and her loving brother Danny Carretero who called her "Mari." She was also a loving grandma also known as "Mami Diana." Diana was a woman of great personality, often described by those around her as bubbly, funny, always smiling, and indeed, the life of the party. Her vibrant spirit could brighten up any room, and the love she held for her family and friends was incomparable.
Diana reveled in the simple pleasures of life. She loved her food and drink, with Garlic Shrimp and Patty Melt being her comfort foods, often enjoyed with a glass of her favorite Tequila. Music was a deep passion for Diana, particularly the 50s oldies, 70s, 80s Spanish romantic music, as well as dancing cumbia, merengue and salsa that never failed to lift her spirits. Her love for entertainment was evident in her taste for Lifetime movies and Korean Novelas.
But Diana was more than just her gleeful personality and love for life. She was a woman of spirit and compassion. One of her greatest accomplishments was her relentless work in helping the less fortunate. She believed in giving, and her actions spoke volumes about her kindness. Her legacy is her loving son and two daughters, who will continue her work and honor her memory.
Diana's fondness for the color red was as fiery as her love for dancing. If it wasn't red earrings, it was a red dress or skirt, red shoes, or red handbag! She lived life fully, with a grin on her face and rhythm in her heart. Her life was a lesson in giving, helping, and spreading joy.
We unite in mourning the loss of Diana Fierro, but also in celebrating the life of a woman who was truly the life of every party, a beacon of positivity and compassion, and a loving sister, mother, and friend. She will be deeply missed.

Con tristeza anunciamos el fallecimiento de Diana Marissa Fierro, un faro resplandeciente de bondad y alegría, que nos dejó el 3 de diciembre de 2023. Nacida el 26 de septiembre de 1956, Diana vivió una vida plena, derramando alegría y risas dondequiera que iba.
Le sobreviven sus queridos hijos Yamel Castro, Geno Castro, Diandra Arias y su amado hermano Danny Carretero, quien la llamó "Mari". También era una abuela cariñosa también conocida como "Mami Diana". Diana era una mujer de gran personalidad, a menudo descrita por quienes la rodeaban como alegre, divertida, siempre sonriente y, de hecho, la vida de la fiesta. Su espíritu vibrante podía alegrar cualquier habitación y el amor que sentía por su familia y amigos era incomparable.
Diana se deleitaba con los placeres simples de la vida. Le encantaba su comida y bebida, siendo los camarones al ajillo y Patty Melt sus comidas reconfortantes, que a menudo disfrutaba con un vaso de su tequila favorito. La música era una profunda pasión para Diana, particularmente la música antigua de los 50, la música romántica española de los 70 y los 80, además de bailar cumbia, merengue y salsa que nunca dejaban de levantarle el ánimo. Su amor por el entretenimiento era evidente en su gusto por las películas de Lifetime y las novelas coreanas.
Pero Diana era algo más que su alegre personalidad y su amor por la vida. Era una mujer de espíritu y compasión. Uno de sus mayores logros fue su incansable trabajo para ayudar a los menos afortunados. Ella creía en dar y sus acciones hablaban mucho de su amabilidad. Su legado es su amado hijo y sus dos hijas, quienes continuarán su trabajo y honrarán su memoria.
La afición de Diana por el color rojo era tan ardiente como su amor por el baile. ¡Si no eran aretes rojos, era un vestido o falda roja, zapatos rojos o un bolso rojo! Vivió la vida plenamente, con una sonrisa en el rostro y ritmo en el corazón. Su vida fue una lección de dar, ayudar y difundir alegría.
Nos unimos para lamentar la pérdida de Diana Fierro, pero también para celebrar la vida de una mujer que fue verdaderamente la vida de cada fiesta, un faro de positividad y compasión, y una amorosa hermana, madre y amiga. La extrañaremos profundamente.

My Beautiful Mother

My deepest condolences on the loss of your dear mother Diana. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know such a special person as Diana, she was a kind and loving woman to friends and family. She will be missed.

Familia de Mari! We LOVED "Miss Mari"!!! What a delight and treasure!! I enjoyed meeting her at Danny & Jose's wedding, and then making her laugh (and her me) on several phone calls along with her beloved brother Danny! She got the biggest kick out Danny and I trying to outsmart each other with our funny quips. No judgment - just a lot of great laughter and A LOT OF LOVE!! Who could have asked for more? I only wish I had known her longer and better.....what a true bright light she was in my life....if only briefly! Our deepest condolences to her children and brother; and those who loved her so deeply! You are all like family to us and we are praying for you in this time of loss and sadness. But, always believe: ALL WILL BE MADE WELL!!!! Miss Mari may be gone, but she will always be loved and remembered by those of us who were lucky enough to experience the brightness of her shining light! Rest well sister Mari! Te amo mi amor!!!
