July 11, 1942 — January 11, 2021
Mary Jeanne (Blanchard) Diener, 78, of Fairport, NY passed away peacefully on January 11, 2021 surrounded by family.
She was born on July 11, 1942 in Toledo, Ohio to Richard Joseph and Kathryn Jane Blanchard and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland. Mary Jeanne attended the Academy of the Holy Names High School before graduating from Catholic University of America in 1964 with a degree in Speech Pathology. Her career as a Speech Therapist began with the Montgomery County Public School System. She was married on July 23, 1966, to her late husband, William Robert Diener, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate.
