Dianne Devault
, 73, of Concord, Maine, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born on May 2, 1953, in Skowhegan, Maine, Dianne lived a life filled with experiences, resilience, and a deep love for the people who mattered most. She was the proud mother of six children, who remained the greatest joy of her life. Her family was the center of her world, and she cherished every opportunity t
o spend time with her children, grandchildren, and loved ones.
She found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She loved traveling, tending to her garden, preparing meals for those she cared about, and filling a room with laughter. She also enjoyed canning, shopping, and talking on the phone with her sisters. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a gift for making people smile,whether through a funny story, a quick joke, or her playful spirit. Those who knew her will remember her warmth, her laughter, and the way she could make even ordinary moments feel special.
She is lovingly survived by her six children: Amy Withee and her husband, Kevin, and their four children,Whitney, Sydney, Devin, and Derek; Sherry Collins and her fiancé, Shawn, and their three children, Sherissa ,Bodhi, and Izaya; Rita Collins and her two children, Toby and Konstantinos; Jessica Turgeon and her husband, Scott, and their five children, Ashley, Nicholas, Niles, Isabel, and Gwyneth; Paul Rollins and hiswife, Erica, and their four children, Chloe, Ryker, Maysn, and Henry; and Chantal Moon and her fiancé, Tyler,and their two children, Blaine and Jack. She is also survived by her five great-grandchildren; her sisters,Linda, Anita, Donna, Lois, and April; her brothers, Buddy and Wayne; her fiancé, Greg Andre; and many extended family members and friends whose lives she touched.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Rita and Merwin Collins Jr.; her siblings, Raymond, Michael, and Sue Ann Collins; and her loving husband, Edward Devault.
Her life was defined not by perfection, but by the love she shared and the family she held so close to her heart. She leaves behind countless memories of laughter around the table, home-cooked meals, blooming gardens, and the unwavering love she had for her family. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit will continue to live on in the stories shared, the traditions she passed down, and the love that binds her family together.
A graveside service will be held on July 17 at 2:00 p.m. at Pierce Cemetery in Solon, Maine. A celebration of her life will follow at Riverside Breakfast & BBQ.
In lieu of flowers, the family invites those who wish to honor her memory to spend time with those they love, share a laugh, plant something beautiful, or perform an act of kindness in her memory.
