Diana Mai (Le) Brodeur of Johnston tragically passed away Sunday May 5, 2024.

She was the extremely loving daughter of Loan Le and Nefi Recinos of Johnston. Diana was only recently married to Stephen Brodeur, this February, one year after the couple was blessed with their only son Clyde Carter Le–Brodeur.

Diana was an extremely dedicated and hard working honors student, who graduated from Johnston High school in 2019, attended Westmont College Santa Barbara, CA, and finally after a long and hard journey completed her Bachelor’s degree in Communications at Rhode Island College in 2022 all the while nurturing her special little strawberry boy Clyde Carter Le-Brodeur.

Diana had the innocence of a child, her beautiful eyes not only saw only the very best in people she cared about, but wanted the very best out of everything. She truly was the closest thing to a perfect girl in an imperfect world. Diana never went out drinking, smoking, or partying, she was too busy doing her cute and wholesome beauty routine, studying for finals, planning out vacations with her husband, or exercising. Diana was an inspiration to all of us. If Stephen needed her for emotional support living day by day, she would give it to him. If he needed time to rest after a long day of work, Diana would give it to him. If Canh needed a breather from work or a reprieve from his busy life, he would contact Diana. If Loan needed help with the baby or was tired from work, Diana would take the burden off of her and not even bother asking. She gave her all to everyone and everything she touched, and didn’t expect anything in return. Everyone misses the amount of dedication, focus, and love that Diana could provide, and the emptiness her absence is leaving us is going to be hard to heal from. We all depended on her from moment to moment life so much. We hope that she is looking down upon us with the same beautiful smile she passed along to her son. She loved the simple things in life good food, good people, warm weather, and especially flowers.

In addition to her husband, son, mother and father, Diana is survived by many loving people including her loving brother Canh Le, paternal aunts and uncles Mayra, German, Francisco, Billy, Nancy, Oxana, and Maria Recinos, cousins Marilyn and Natilie Recinos. Diana was the beloved daughter in law to David and Kimberly Brodeur and will be sadly missed by her sister and brothers in law Jacqueline, David-Gregory, and SP4 Peter Brodeur stationed in Fort Bliss, Texas. All coming from the same home in Coventry, alongside her husband Stephen. 

“Diana was the only person who inspired me to be the best, most loving person I could be”- Canh Le

A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday May 14, 2024 at 6:00pm in The Butterfield Chapel 500 Pontiac Avenue Cranston.
