Diane B. Svoboda, 66, passed away on April 10, 2021. After college graduation in New York, Diane worked in politics in Albany, NY for the Democratic Party. She held various educational positions of responsibility including a position at Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy. Here she was a Project Associate whose job was to conduct management training seminars for New York State Social Service employees. Diane also taught classes at the College of St. Rose in Albany. Diane also managed a store called Computers'N You. Desktop computers were a very new thing back in 1983, so this was the cutting edge. (They sold Commodore 64's, Atari, IBM, Apple models and sponsored classes on how to use them).



When Diane moved to Phoenix, she taught at ASU, prior to accepting a position at Mesa Community College where she taught for many years, until her retirement. She taught English 101 and 102 as well as Technical writing.
