FRiends,
Do you know the screen name of this departed Freeper?
Her real name was Diane Berry, aka Diane Bruskas and Diane (Bruskas) Berry. She was active in the FR Facebook group but sadly passed away in January 2022. She lived in the Phoenix, AZ area.
Here's a link to her FB page.
https://www.facebook.com/diane.bruskasberry
And to her obituary.
https://www.whitneymurphyfuneralhome.com/obituaries/berry-diane-bruskas
Maybe share this in the FB group? I'm not a member there.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Ping!
Her most recent posts here would have been around late 2021.
The day she died is the day I was diagnosed with my second bout of Covid. Thank God it was the Omni strain and not the deadlier Delta strain that killed my brother later that month & likely killed this freeper too. I don’t know her, I’m afraid, but she sounds like a wonderful lady.
Sadly, this is a prime candidate:
Hsmomx3
She was having problems with COVID Christmas Eve, 2021.

The obituary mentions Diane had three children and “enjoyed teaching” them. This would tie into the “hs” for “home school.”
Thank you both for your research.
Heartbreaking to read her last few posts.
Prayers for her family.
She shows an Arizona flag on her About page and, judging from her picture and being very aware of how COVID-19 affected higher BMI patients, I think it’s a very high match.
This is a sad thing to come across.
If I knew, I wouldn’t give personal info.
Ping to 5.
Thanks for finding her FR name. I remember it well. Her last few posts were heartbreaking. My brother also got sick around Christmas & 2 weeks later he was taken to the hospital by ambulance where he died a miserable death alone in a barren hospital room. I wasn’t really sad about it because he was a miserable brother to me, but Diane didn’t deserve the same kind of death. What Fauci & Big Pharma did to us for over 2 yrs was a monstrosity & they deserve to rot in Hell.
This was a longshot ... I didn't know if we would ever have an answer, much less have one this soon.
Grammy, does this sound right? "Hsmomx3"
wow Sherlock Holmes
I’m glad you survived. (And I agree with you about Fauci.)
Thank you for your work here.
About 3 or 4 years ago I sent Jim my obit information for the Wall. He was surprised. I really don’t have anyone who would do it though.
Thank you for remembering her and reminding us. She sounds like a remarkable person who made her mark on the world in this life.
Yes, this is a match. The posts all sound like her. I”m glad we can add her to the wall. Thanks all for helping to identify her.
It's such a sensitive subject ... I don't know if there's one answer that could work for everyone.
If it were me, and I was having a will prepared by an attorney, I would ask him or her to include something about notifying FR and I'd provide them with all of FR's contact information, my screen name, etc.
All credit goes to ConservativeMind. This was amazing detective work.
Lots of luck. I had a freeper friend from wayback, Freetrapper, stopped posting after a thread about an outing with family on the Red River over a New year. Mods would not help me to find out what happened to him.
Good Work Amigo!
