Diane Levitt

Diane Levitt, age 76, passed away unexpectedly at her home on February 23, 2024. She was born on May 1, 1947, in Pontiac to Harry Dunigan and Eunice Hartsoe Dunigan. Diane was a graduate of Pontiac Central High School. Diane's life changed forever when she met her beloved husband, Dennis, at his birthday party. They shared an instant connection and were married on February 25, 1966, in Waterford. Together, they embarked on a journey filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories. During Dennis' service in the U.S. Army, Diane stood by his side, accompanying him to the state of Washington. After Dennis completed his service, they returned to Pontiac, where they lovingly raised their sons. As her children grew older, Diane began her career, working first at Shifrin-Willens Jewelers at Summit Place Mall and later at Delta Dental, where she dedicated many years of service until her retirement. In their 26 years in Sebring, FL, Diane and Dennis became active members of their community. Diane's heart for service led her to volunteer at local veteran's organizations. She was especially known for her "Christmas Candy Sleighs," a labor of love she crafted to bring joy to veterans and friends during the holiday season. Diane would make a very large sleigh each year that would be raffled off as a fundraiser for a veteran's organization. Her generous spirit extended beyond the holiday season, as she tirelessly donated to charitable causes, utilizing her couponing skills to amass items for veterans, food banks, and homeless shelters. Her favorite holiday was Christmas and she would joyously decorate her home with multiple Christmas trees to add to the festive season. Diane's passion for giving even extended to Halloween, where she delighted neighborhood children with full-size candy bars, a testament to her boundless generosity. Diane and Dennis shared a love for the Woodward Dream Cruise and made it a tradition to return from Florida to Michigan every summer to enjoy the event. After Dennis' passing in March 2020, Diane returned to Michigan to live with her son, Chad. In her later years, she found joy in watching the Hallmark Channel and staying connected with family and friends through Facebook. Diane will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and selflessness that will continue to inspire those whose lives she touched. Diane was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis Levitt, and siblings Harry Joe Dunigan, Quentin Dunigan, Ron Dunigan, and Shellie Campbell. She is survived by her sons, Mike (Lindsay) Levitt and Chad Levitt; grandchildren Sarah, Rachel, and Andrew Levitt; and a host of other relatives and friends. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, February 27, from 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm at Wm. Sullivan & Son Funeral Home, 705 W. 11 Mile Rd. (4 blks E. of Woodward), Royal Oak. Memorial contributions may be made to D.A.V. (Disabled American Veterans) or Gleaner's Community Food Bank. Please share your memories and condolences at www.sullivanfuneraldirectors.com.
