Diane M.

Carmichael

Diane M. Carmichael, 62, died peacefully on November 6th, 2026 after a heroic battle with Leukemia. Born in Springfield to the late Richard and Faith (Fitzgerald) Carosello, she was a graduate of Cathedral High School and earned an Associate’s Degree from Holyoke Community College. Diane worked as the Nursing Coordinator at American International College for many years.

Diane treasured her family vacations on Cape Cod, where she made many wonderful memories and enjoyed the simple pleasures of time spent together. She was also an excellent baker, known especially for her delicious homemade holiday cookies. When she wasn't spending time with family or baking something special, Diane loved getting lost in a good book. These are among the many special memories her family and friends will carry with them.

In addition to her parents, Diane was also predeceased by her father in law Cecil Carmichael. She will be dearly missed by her beloved husband of 39 years, John Carmichael, their three devoted sons; John Carmichael, Jr. of Wilbraham, Ryan Carmichael of Springfield and Brendan Carmichael of Wilbraham. She also leaves her brother, Richard Carosello of York, Maine; her mother-in-law, Grace Carmichael-Lake of Wilbraham; her sister-in-law, Sandra Brosseau, and her husband Mark of Springfield; and her nieces and nephews; Nicole Grant (Jerome), Michael Carosello (Gina), Collin Carosello, and Sarah Afzal (Zee). She will also be dearly missed by her beloved dog, Finn.

Diane’s family would like to sincerely thank the health professionals at Baystate’s Springfield Oncology 3 and the D’Amour Center for Cancer Care for the compassionate care she received.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday November 17th, 2026 from 4-7 PM at Wilbraham Funeral Home, 2551 Boston Rd., Wilbraham. Family and friends may meet for Diane’s Funeral Mass/Service on Wednesday, November 18th, 2026 at 10am at Wilbraham Funeral Home.
