Dianne L. Havens, 89, of Lewiston, NY and formerly of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at Kenmore Mercy Hospital. Born in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late Lewis and Lillian (Pearson) Lauer; and the loving wife of the late Karl Edwards, Jr. who she married on April 7, 1956 in Niagara Falls.
Dianne graduated from Niagara Falls High School in 1952 and earned her Registered Dental Hygienist certification from the former Erie Technical Institute, Buffalo, NY in 1954. She happily served as a hygienist for many local dentists for 50 years prior to retiring in 2004.  She was much loved by the generations of families she treated as patients, many of whom still ask about her to her sons, in their dental practice.
Dianne was an avid reader and enjoyed tending to her garden. She also loved vacationing to the Adirondacks every September with family for decades. Above all, Dianne centered her life around her family who she cherished the time spent with. She especially enjoyed baking chocolate chip cookies every weekend with her beloved grandson, Andrew.
