Our beloved parents, Bruce Baldi, 65, and Diana (Wozniak) Baldi, 66, have departed this earthly
plane to be amongst the stars. They were always smiling, adventuring, and holding hands
during their devoted 35-year marriage. Our family is heartbroken by this sudden loss, but knows

born on September 3, 1955, in Martins Ferry, OH, to Mitch and Flora Wozniak.They met at the University of Maryland in an organic chemistry class where they indeed had a lot of chemistry.

jobs to cover their long-distance phone bills.
Both lovers of nature and travel, Diana and Bruce brought their three daughters on countless
road trips and adventures around the world such as Europe, the Brazilian Amazon, and Alaska.
Whenever a business trip popped up, Bruce and Diana seized the opportunity to travel together
and explore China, Australia, Trinidad, and New Zealand. Their zest for life was truly
unparalleled and service to others was equally as important.
Bruce and Diana devoted their time and energy to nonprofit organizations supporting creativity,
community, and conservation. Their contagious joy and selfless character shines brightly in the
memories of people around the world who had the pleasure of meeting them, whether once or
many times during life-long friendships.
Bruce and Diana are survived by children Brooke Baldi, Siena Baldi, Josie (Pickens) Gruber,
