Diane D. McFarland, 77, of Fulton, New York, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Sunday, June 4.  Born in Oswego, she was the daughter of the late Leonard and Margaret (Shortslef) Hall of Sterling, New York.

She will be greatly missed and live forever in the hearts of her children, Marcia (Matthew) Moshier, Margie (Jamie) Diak, and Jason (Sherri) McFarland.  She is also survived by her six grandchildren, Meredith Moshier, Allison Moshier, Jonathan Diak, Lauren Diak, Kelsea McFarland, and McKenna McFarland. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
