In Memoriam: Diane Crumley

Editor's Note: We were bereft to learn about Diane's passing on Dec. 28. She has been an integral part of the DMA and KDRT communities for 20+ years. This obituary was wriiten by Diane's brother-in-law, Bill Buchanan. This  is the GoFundMe he references.

UPDATE JAN. 5: A celebration of her life has been scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15, in the Davis Odd Fellows Lodge. More details to come.  

Diane Crumley, who saw creativity in nature all around her, earned a PhD in anthropology, and worked or volunteered for several Yolo County nonprofits during more than two decades in Davis, died Dec. 28, 2025 at 68 from cancer.

Born in 1957, Diane earned a bachelor’s in biological anthropology from the University of California Los Angeles in 1986 and her doctorate from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque in 2000. She was an accomplished grants writer and was a research associate at the UNM Medical School's Cancer Research and Treatment Center.
