Diane Davidson Obituary (1958-2026) · Duluth, Minnesota, United...

We reflect on the life of Diane Elizabeth (Mahai) Davidson, who passed away on July 14, 2026, after gracing this world since October 16, 1958.

Diane's heart was a wellspring of love, especially for her dear husband, Dale Davidson, and their beloved daughter, Elizabeth (Beth) Davidson, both of whom preceded her in passing.

Away from her dedicated work, Diane found joy in the simple, beautiful rhythms of life. She delighted in tending to her flowers, covering her home in colorful blooms, puzzles offered moments of quiet contemplation, and shopping brought her pleasure.

Professionally, Diane dedicated herself to caring for others as a CNA at St. Mary's Hospital for over 20 years, where her compassion and commitment undoubtedly touched many lives.

Diane's life, though marked by personal loss, was rich with love for her family and a quiet dedication to her passions and her work. She is remembered by many including two sisters, Wendy Halverson and Cheryl Zastrow and her Granddaughter Jayden Cloutier, who she loved dearly.

Celebration of Life to be determined at a later date.

Those who wish to honor Diane's memory are invited to .

I've worked with Diane the last 20 years at Miller Dwan. She trained me in as a transporter 20 years ago. She was always helpful and smiling each day at work. RIP my friend.

I was just talking about Diane last week and wondered if she had retired. I am so sorry for your loss. Diane was a very special person and brought joy wherever she would go. I can still hear her laughter. RIP Diane and my prayers are going out to her family and friends.

Diane was like a second mother to me growing up. I remember babysitting Beth when she was a baby. I remember Dale and Diane’s love was so strong and they adored Beth now they’re all together. May you rest in peace until we meet again?

She and her husband made the best sloppy Joe’s on the planet. I have her recipe and I will cherish it forever. I loved her sense of humor. She was wonderful.

I've known Diane since the 1970's, when the Mahais and the Halversons became family through marriage, and through marriage again when we both married into the Davidson family. Our children came along,( Mandy and Beth were glued at the hib when they were little), then we were both blessed with grandchildren. Jayden, you didn't get enough time with your mom or your grandparents. So very sorry, just know they adored you.
