Love Todd and Scott

Diane P. Mapes (1947-2023) Diane Mapes, 76, of Riverside, died peacefully at Kaiser Hospital in Riverside, on October 6, 2023, with her loving family and close friends by her side. Diane graduated from Hemet High School in 1965 and lived in Riverside for over 44 years. She worked for the Riverside County Office of Education as the Director of Children’s Services.  Throughout her career she made an impact on the lives of her colleagues and the students she served. In addition to her career, Diane was a member of the Riverside Rancheros. She will be remembered for her love of people, adventure, independent nature, and open-minded approach to life. Diane loved watching all types of sports, including attending all of her children and grandchildren’s sporting events through the years. One of her greatest joys was camping at Doheny State Beach with close friends and family. Diane enjoyed good stories, good wine, campfires and the company of her life-long loyal friends and loved ones. Diane felt holidays were to be celebrated in style, and she created wonderful traditions and memories for her children and grandchildren to cherish. A kind heart, Diane rescued and adopted pets that she loved and cared for. Diane is survived by her son Scott Mapes and his children Zachary and Taylor, son Todd Mapes and wife Kristy, and their children Madison and Mason. The family kindly requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her honor to The Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center of Riverside.
