Diane Margaret Begin of Seekonk, MA passed away on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the age of 78. She was born on September 21, 1947, in Attleboro, MA, where she grew up.
She worked in the finance industry as a clerk for various financial institutions over the course of her career.
In addition, while she was able, she enjoyed gardening, crocheting, knitting, and other crafts. She was also actively involved in spirituality and religion. And, she was committed to caring for her family and neighborhood.
She was preceded in death by her parents George H. Blade and Margaret Blade, brother George Blade, and husband Albert L. Begin.
Additionally, she is survived by her daughter Charlene Murray and granddaughter Alexia Murray.
A lasting memory that is held by those who knew her back in the 1980s was when she rode her motorcycle, often with her daughter on the backseat.
The family would like to thank the caregiving teams at Crestwood Nursing Home and Rehabilitation in Warren, RI; Saint Anne’s Hospital and Beacon Hospice in Fall River, MA; and the First Christian Congregational Church in Swansea, MA, for the care and compassion they showed our loved one in her final days.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her honor to Heifer International at: www.heifer.org.
Diane is fondly remembered as a kind-hearted and generous person. We will miss her.
