Diane Bull

Dear Chapter members and friends:

I shared in my last email to our Chapter list that Diane Bull made her transition on August 31. Diane had a heart attack and exited readily in her daughter’s arms. See obituary below for details.

Very many of us knew and loved Diane. Diane and her husband Leroy Bull were founders of our Guy Snyder Chapter. Diane served as Trustee of ASD, the American Society of Dowsers. Diane also served as President of the Pebble Hill Board and served on the Board as well.

We are coordinating the Memorial Gathering with Sacred Paths, a group that Diane was a member of. School of Sacred Ministries is where Diane became Reverend Diane. Invited are those in the Pebble Hill Church Community who had a connection with Diane.  We plan to be outdoors.  There is a large awning tent that we will set up to gather in as there is a possibility of showers. The forecast is for the weather to be mild so we see that outdoors is the most comfortable option given some folks’ reluctance to gather indoors due to health concerns.  If there is a lot more rain than what is currently forecasted, we will move inside.  I will send another email to let you know if the Memorial Gathering will be changed to an indoor event in the Pebble Hill Sanctuary.

For those of you who would like to send flowers for the Memorial Gathering they can be delivered to my  address and Carol will transport them to Pebble Hill Church.

Leroy Bull will be with us and will deliver the eulogy. We will have time from 1:30 -2 to socialize and give folks an opportunity to express condolences to Leroy. There will be an opportunity for those in attendance to share their special memories of Diane in the service.

We are planning some light refreshment following the Memorial service. The labyrinth in the Sanctuary can be walked before or after the service.

We are asking that a love offering be made to support the costs of this Gathering and to also be able to make a donation to Pebble Hill Church in honor of Diane Bull and in gratitude to Pebble Hill Church for hosting this event. Your love offering can made in person if you are in attendance on Sunday, October 23 or mailed to my address above.

If you would like to have mailing address for Leroy Bull to send your condolences, please email Carol O’Connell at princetonmediation@gmail.com

The Intelligencer Obituary posted Sept. 6:

1943-2022

Diane Epstein Bull passed away August 31st from heart failure. Diane was born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and grew up in northern Philadelphia and Southampton. She studied bio-chemistry at Penn State University, then finished multiple masters at Temple University. On a blind date, she met then later married Leroy Keet Bull and went on to have one beautiful daughter, Sarah. She moved to Doylestown PA for family and career teaching science, then into the battery industry, and finishing her career in the pesticide industry. She thrived in clutter and never met a horizontal surface she couldn’t fill with piles of paper.

A book could be written about the adventures of Diane. She was a lead participant in the women’s movement to pass the ERA. She also studied to be an interfaith reverend, raised butterflies, was an avid reader, Feng Shui practitioner, and world traveler. She did all of this with a mischievous glint in her eye.

She is survived by her loving spouse of 57 years Leroy and brother David Epstein. For the last seven years she and husband Leroy had lived in Stamford CT with her daughter Sarah, her son in law Mark and her loving granddaughter Samantha.

She attended so many political protests she couldn’t count them all. Recently, she attended a protest in Stamford holding a poster that read “Now you have pissed off Grandma”. While her protesting days are now over, the values she fought for endure in those she touched
