Friday October 18, 2024 – A TIME OF MEMORIES

Remembering

Remembering Diana Brill, a cherished islander and our friend, who unfortunately passed away last week in Los Angeles.

A former choreographer, Diana beautifully transitioned her career into massage therapy and  even brought her unique touch to our RIHS Visitor Center. She loved interacting with visitors. Each year she worked as an Inspector at our poll site checking in voters.

Diana was a beacon of positivity, her lively personality and ever-present cheerfulness were infectious. Even amidst health challenges, she remained optimistic, always looking forward to embracing her Californian lifestyle.

We carry her spirit with us, remembering her warmth and resilience.
