Resident Spotlight: Diana Montague
Diana Montague is a sweet and adventurous woman whose life has centered around family, hard work, and meaningful experiences. Originally from Washington, DC, Diana grew up in a large, loving family with six siblings. From a young age, she learned the value of family, responsibility, and resilience—values that have stayed with her throughout her life.
As a child, Diana lived on a farm, an experience she has always been proud of. Life on the farm required strength and determination, and Diana embraced it fully. She often recalls how the work helped make her strong—something she has always carried with pride. One of her fondest memories from those days is caring for a cow named Patsy, who held a special place in her heart.
Diana attended Fairfax High School, where she was an involved member of the school choir. During her younger years, she met her sweetheart, Noel Montague, and their love story would span decades. Diana and Noel shared a beautiful marriage for a little over 60 years, building a life together rooted in love, dedication, and partnership.
After graduating from high school, Diana continued her education at the University of Virginia. She also attended George Mason University, where she studied mathematics and computer science. Her passion for learning led her to a successful career at Georgetown University, where she worked as an Associate Director for 20 years. Her dedication and professionalism left a lasting impression on those who worked with her.
Family has always been at the center of Diana’s life. She and Noel raised two wonderful children and were later blessed with four grandchildren, who brought them immense joy. Much of their happiest time was spent together as a family.
Later in life, Diana and Noel retired early so they could focus on what mattered most to them: spending time with family, gardening, and enjoying the outdoors. They also lived for a time in Clifton, Virginia, where they continued to make wonderful memories together.
Diana has always had a sense of adventure and a love for travel. Two of her favorite destinations have been the scenic landscapes of Vermont and the rich culture of Spain. These experiences reflect her curiosity and appreciation for the beauty of the world.
Now a resident at The Harbor at Renaissance Assisted Living of Greene County, Diana is cherished and celebrated for her warmth, strength and adventurous spirit. Her life story is one of dedication to family, meaningful work, and embracing the simple joys of life. We are honored to have Diana as part of our community.
