Diane Marie Appel, 56, of Branford, died peacefully on Friday (April 22, 2005) with her family at her bedside.
Diane earned a BA in Social Work from Keuka College and an MPA from Columbia University. Diane was employed by the CT Dept. of Children & Families for 13 years. Her dynamic, outgoing personality contributed to her success as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras and later as a Peace Corps Trainer in Costa Rica. She also worked as a Planner for the City of New York and started her career at the Fairhaven Health Clinic in New Haven. Diane was a member of the Branford Democratic Town Committee and was elected to the Representative Town Meeting. She was an avid campaigner and fundraiser and enjoyed volunteering at the Branford Soup Kitchen. Diane is survived by her father John Appel; stepmother Pat; her sisters Elizabeth Appel (Eitzer), Adrianne Appel and Janis Evancha; and her brothers-in-law, Brian Eitzer and Nick Evancha. She was predeceased by her mother, Gertrude (Fuller) Appel. Auntie Diane was devoted to Chloe and Arlo Eitzer. Diane's family and her many friends will truly miss her.

| Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong 170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community. |
