Diane Lefkowitz Dexter

Until the end of her life on April 1, 2025, Diane Lefkowitz Dexter insisted she was the luckiest person in the world. She was blessed with a husband, Jim, and a dog, Chip, whom she adored, a career that she loved, and wonderful friends who supported her through six-and-a-half years of treatment for advanced colon cancer. Although Diane spent more than half of her 61 years living in Atlanta, Georgia, where she worked for CNN, her heart remained in her home town of Pittsburgh. She was a passionate Steelers fan, and also loved music, reading and spending time with her friends. She always said God's greatest gift was her ability to see the beauty in everyday life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bernard and Rita Lefkowitz of Avalon, Pa., and a beloved chihuahua, Emma. She will be laid to rest during a graveside ceremony at West View Cemetery of Rodef Shalom Congregation in Pittsburgh at 11:00 AM on Sunday, April 6, 2025. There will be a memorial gathering for Diane in Atlanta at a future date. Diane asked that donations be made to www.atlantacancercarefoundation.org or to an animal rescue organization of your choice.
