Diana Soule ’85

Diana died June 7, 2014, in a single-car accident near her home in Concord, N.H.

Diana came to Princeton following in her brother Matt’s footsteps. The youngest of five siblings, she was an accomplished equestrian and a three-sport varsity athlete at St. Paul’s School in their native Concord.

At Princeton, she was a squash player, a history major and a beloved member of Cap and Gown Club. Most memorably, however, she was one of those rare few who radiated kindness and inclusivity to everyone she met. Her innate compassion was palpable to those who knew her and she was widely admired for her humility, kindness, and good nature.

After time in New York City and Los Angeles pursuing creative interests, Diana received a nursing degree from Vanderbilt, where she graduated with high honors. Nursing was a natural extension of her compassionate heart. Throughout her life, she worked in service of others: with Oxfam while at Princeton, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, with hospice in Los Angeles, and at Concord Hospital, where she worked in recent years.

Diana is survived by her mother, four siblings, and seven nieces and nephews, to whom she was devoted. Our class extends deep sympathy to them all. She will be greatly missed.
