Dianne Adele Waltos, 68, of Greensburg, passed peacefully at home on June 8, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family, following a courageous and dignified battle with breast cancer.
Born and raised in the Monessen and West Newton area, Dianne was the cherished daughter of the late Emil and Adele Lenart. She was a proud graduate of Mon Valley Catholic School and continued her education at Robert Morris College, carrying with her a lifelong love of learning and service to others.
Dianne will be forever remembered by her devoted husband of 46-years, Anthony Waltos, and by her loving children, Becky Rutkowski (Drew) and Brian Waltos (Melissa). She was a proud and adoring grandmother to Addison and Asher, who brought immeasurable joy to her life.
Known affectionately as “Bubbles” by those closest to her, Dianne’s nickname perfectly captured her vibrant, warm, and joyful spirit. She had an extraordinary gift for making everyone feel cared for and valued. To so many of her children’s friends—and countless others whose lives she touched—she was more than a friend or mentor; she was a cherished “bonus mom,” always welcoming, always supportive, and always ready to listen. Her life was a testament to selflessness—she consistently placed the needs of others before her own and was deeply committed to many charitable causes and community efforts including her role on the Westmoreland Hospital Auxiliary as a member and officer. Dianne was also a long time member of the Pennsylvania Association of Hospital Auxiliaries.
Dianne’s kindness, strength, and unwavering love touched the lives of countless friends, cousins, and extended family members who will miss her dearly. Her legacy lives on in the compassion she showed, the lives she uplifted, and the deep love she shared so freely.
As we remember Dianne, we hold close the spirit in which she lived her life—with love, courage, and joy. In the words of Tom Petty, “You belong somewhere you feel free.” Dianne found that freedom in the love she gave and received, and she will forever remain in our hearts.
A celebration of Dianne’s life will be held at a later date for close friends and family members.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation ( https://www.komen.org/how-to-help/donate/ ) or Excela Health Hospice (https://thelatrobeareahospitalcharitablefoundation.salsalabs.org/westmorelandfrickhospitalfoundationdonationform/index.html) in her memory.
A life so beautifully lived will be lovingly remembered and forever cherished.
