OSWEGO, NY – Diann Mae Lagoe, 78, a resident of Oswego, passed away on Friday April 15, 2016, at Oswego Hospital with her loving family by her side.

Born in Granby, she was the daughter of the late Lawrence and Dorothy

Also surviving are her brother, Frank Lanphear of Fulton; and two sisters, Faye Blainey of Camillus and Jean Gasowski of Marcellus.

She is blessed with  15 grandchildren, Teresa Burgdorf, Derek Columbus, Frankie Barlow, Jennifer Hoey, Jake Jones; Drew, Cassie, Jessa, Aaron and Mia Lanphear and Michelle, Andrew, Nicole, Gene III and Amanda Lagoe.

She is also blessed with three great-grandchildren and three on the way.

She was predeceased by her daughter, Jennifer Lagoe, in 1985; a son,
Lawrence “Kit” Lagoe, in 1980; a brother, Lee Lanphear; and a sister, Margaret Rookey.

As per her wishes, funeral services will be private and there will be no calling hours.
