Marlborough- It is with heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of Diane M. Levesque Joyce, a beloved wife, mother, and cherished member of the Marlborough community. Born on June 4, 1957, in Marlborough, Diane departed this life peacefully on March 19, 2026, at Marlborough Hospital. Her presence will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege to know her.

Diane was a devoted office manager at the former Center of Better Living, where her dedication and warmth left an indelible mark on colleagues and clients alike. A graduate of Marlborough High School, Class of 1975, she carried her hometown pride throughout her life, embodying the values and spirit of the community she loved so dearly.

Known for her kind nature and a heart of pure gold, Diane’s generosity touched many lives. Beyond her professional life, she found joy and creative expression in baking, specializing in exquisitely beautiful decorative cakes that brought sweetness not just to the palate but to the soul. Her talents extended to sewing and crafts, pursuits that allowed her to share her creativity and love through handmade gifts and decorations.

Diane’s family was the core of her world. She shared a deep and loving bond with her husband, David G. Joyce, to whom she was married for 40 wonderful years. Together they nurtured their son, Dallas P. Joyce of Marlborough, who carries forward his mother’s legacy of kindness and love. Though Diane’s parents, Bert Levesque and Laura P. (Maynard) Levesque, preceded her in death, their memory lives on through her enduring spirit.

Among those who grieve her loss is her trusted canine companion, Sketchy Lincoln, whose loyal heart misses her every moment, a silent testament to the profound bond they shared.

Diane's  life was one of love, creativity, and kindness. The imprint of her gentle spirit will remain forever in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were blessed by her presence. As we remember Diane, we hold close the warmth she gave and the precious moments shared, honoring a life beautifully lived.
