Diana was such a delightful person with a perspective that always made me smile. I knew Diana as a dedicated swimmer at crunch. She always said “keep swimming”! I saw her almost every day and cherish all the conversations and laughs we got to share. It was a privilege to know her. She had a great sense of humor and was so fun to talk to.
I first met Diana around 2011 when we both worked at EMC. We weren’t on the same team, but her cube was right across from mine, which sparked our friendly banter - small jokes, shared laughter, and genuine conversations.
Even back then, what stood out most was her kind heart and willingness to help others, qualities that have always stayed with me.
Years later, we reconnected over Korean BBQ this past April, and she was just as warm, kind, and full of positive energy as I remembered.
Rest in peace, Diana
We had a fun "run" and I was looking forward to 2026. You gently chided me about not getting out to travel; you had done 6 continents. In your memory, I will get a move on, thinking of you as I wander.
I was introduced to Diana through her longtime friend Villy in the early 1990s. Over the years we enjoyed many hilarious outings, dinners and fun times together including for delicious dim sum, trips to the beach and at each other’s homes. I will forever remember Diana for her generosity, wonderful laugh, common sense, warm smile, devotion to loved ones and welcoming heart. Her memory is a blessing. I offer my sincere condolences to the Lu Shing family, her dear friend Villy and the wide circle of people whose spirits were lightened by her.
When I met Diana and Yoga Class about eight years ago we instantly hit it off and shared enjoying the class every week! Diana also loved the Zumba class and swimming! Then Covid hit… Every Saturday morning I would get a text message to remind me there was a zoom yoga class, her favorite greeting “Wakie Wakie” Are you going to Janet’s class, and then Tony’s class?” This was a five year long weekly connection.I would miss those text greetings whenever she traveled, but I knew she would be back and we would resume and perhaps connect for lunch!
A few weeks ago I expected her to be back and we would go to lunch, and I expected to see her in Tony’s class last Friday… No Diana… as I kept looking for her to appear. Something in the air felt off….
She always brought a good feeling surrounding her, always being genuine. I will miss her, and the world will have a little empty spot without her. Rest in peace, Diana as we will always remember your warmth, smile and caring.

We (Fabian and I) knew Diana a short time, since 2021. She loved going to the movies, that’s how we met through attending free movie screenings. It was always a fun gathering talking about her demanding work, demanding health routine of yoga and swimming, travel memories and our diets. We somehow were able to fit in going to software & security expos and parties in SF, getting together to celebrate birthdays and for the first time planning to travel together in 2026!
Diana was a special person. She was insightful, had a subtle & wicked sense of humor, and inclusive to all including my deaf daughter, Liane. She always reached out to her and tried to gesture/sign whenever we were together. I felt like we were becoming her SF family. I will miss her laughter, kindness and love. Although we’ve known her too short a time, she deeply touched our lives and will stay in our hearts forever.
