Ellen DeGouff Obituary

Ellen Diana DeGouff, 78, of New Port Richey, Florida, entered into Heaven on October 4th, 2022. Mom was a breast cancer survivor. She worked in the pharmacy field for Vyner’s Pharmacy for 42 years. She was employed by Walmart in Tarpon Springs, Florida, where she made immediate friends who she cherished dearly. She had a great love for Bengal tigers. Her love for animals was immense! She spent many years loving on her cats and dogs that I’m sure welcomed her. She even trained Wood Cranes at her home that she fed bologna to every day. Diana had a way of making everyone laugh that if you knew her, you wouldn’t forget! She was witty, smart, tenacious and loving. She always spoke the truth and gave everything she had. She had a heart as big as the universe. She knew no strangers. Her smile and humor will be missed by many and cherished for years to come. She was predeceased by her father, Jesse D Crane, her mother, Esther I Crane, her sisters, Shirley Hunt and Carolyn Guidera. She is survived by her sister, Merilyn Crigger, Myrtle Beach, SC; her loving husband of 38 years, Philip J. DeGouff, New Port Richey; her children, Patrice Adams, Elizabeth City, NC, Charles T.
