Hi, I’m Diane Howard, Encore Resident. I was the first to move into Encore along with my sister in Au

gust 2015. Where am I from and who am I? Well, first I was born in the red dirt state of Oklahoma.

Three months later I had my first move. Being an Air Force Brat is what I became. How fortunate I was to

live that lifestyle. I have lived in Europe (Germany) and in Asia (Japan) as well as various Air Force bases

around the country. This life afforded me with travel all over Europe and Asia and for that I am grateful. I

loved my life then and love it now. I have lived in various states in these great United States including

California, Arizona, Alabama and Ohio. I have been blessed with many friends who live all over the coun-

try. Prior to coming to Encore I lived in Gilbert and volunteered for both the Fire Department and Police

Departments there. Before retiring, I was the Sales Administrator for Crafco, Inc., the world’s largest pav-

ing maintenance company handling all contracts and bids for over 17 years. Prior to retiring, I started a

pet sitting business as I love all animals big and small. I am always open for new clients. I have many likes and loves (too many

to list here). I am comfortable in my own skin at this point and love the lifestyle Encore affords me. Next time you see me stop

and say hello!
