Obituary of Diane Halbran

Diane “DiDi” Halbran, 60, succumbed to a 9/11 related cancer attributed to her efforts at the World Trade Center on September 6.

DiDi was a retired police officer for the NYPD (70/BSTF/PBBS).  She then became the President’s Secretary for Bishop Ford H.S. 

DiDi is the beloved daughter of Arthur and the late Claire (nee Hynes), cherished sister of Arthur Jr. and Susan O’Malley with her husband Kevin.  She is the adored aunt of Kevin, Megan, Kelly, Bob, and Matt.  She is the loving great aunt of Nora, Elizabeth, Terence, and Thomas.
