Diana Rea Leon

To know her was to love her. Diana was a deeply cherished, loving and trusted wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend. She was a joy to talk with, naturally supportive and compassionate. She had an unforgettable spirit and laugh, with a beautiful smile that was both uplifting and heartfelt. Diana will be missed by so many and will be forever in our hearts. Born in Iowa on December 28, 1947, Diana was the oldest of three children born to Shirley Wake and Gerald Hargrave. Diana grew up in Phoenix, AZ and graduated from Alhambra High School. After marrying in 1966, Diana and Jerry Dublin moved to the bay area where their sons Brian and Jason were born. They later divorced. Diana started in real estate in 1974, where she met Rob Giraudo. They were married in 1978 and became a family of 8. They later divorced. In 1983, Diana, Terry Allmer and her sons moved to Gresham, OR. Diana and Terry married in 1985.

She loved real estate and soon became the owner/broker of Real Estate Headquarters in Gresham until she retired in 2017. After retiring, Diana moved to Lake Havasu City, AZ, where she and Leo (her longtime boyfriend) had built the home of their dreams. They married on July 8, 2020.
