Diane Marchetti passed away suddenly on February 4, 2025 while visiting good friends in Hawaii. She was the Railroad Museum manager and cheerfully made sure anything and everything got done. She will be sorely missed. A service is planned at the museum for April 27 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Diane’s obituary is online here.
