Diana Linehan

April 21, 1943 — November 10, 2023

Cushing

Diana Linehan, 80, left us on November 10, 2023, with her family by her side at her home in Cushing, MN. 

Diana was born in Seattle, Washington to Phyllis Elaine Wright (Montagne) and James Richard Wright Senior.

Diana moved to Minnesota after high school to be a flight attendant for Northwest Airlines in 1963. While living In Minnesota she met Larry Linehan, who she in time married in 1967. Larry and Dianna also welcomed their son, Darrin, in 1967. After Darrin’s graduation, Diana moved to Scottsdale, AZ and continued her work as a flight attendant for Northwest Airlines until retiring in 2003. 

Diana was known for her exceptional creative eye and remarkable aptitude for painting. 

In 2016, Diana moved back to Minnesota to be closer to her family. She spent her final years in Cushing, Minnesota where her house became her canvas. Her family and friends were continuously astonished by the projects she completed in and around her house as a new form of creative expression. 

Diana is survived by her brother, James Richard Wright; son and his spouse, Darrin (Patty) Linehan; and her grandchildren and their spouses: Zac (Allie) Linehan; Abe Linehan; and Josie (Kyle) Ferderer.
