Diane Cilent i Walks On
Veterans' Activist was only 56.
By Ron Karten
Diane Louise Cilenti, 56, of Sheridan,
died on June 11. She sat out a lunch with
colleagues in Chemult, Washington on her
way back from a Veterans conference in
Reno covering issues, and when her col
leagues returned to the car, Cilenti had
passed on.
Cilenti has long been well-regarded in
Veterans Circles, since she had worked
as Veterans Services Officer for Yamhill
County since 1995.
In that capacity, she helped Vets navigate the bureaucracy to
enjoy all the benefits they had coming. She helped with transpor
tation, when that was necessary, and she helped with Vets' tax
issues as well as appeals on claim rejections.
"Such a driving force," said Tribal Elder and recently retired
head of the Northwest Indian Veterans Association (NIVA) Gene
LaBonte. She was "a most dedicated worker for the Veterans, She
believed a Veteran is a Veteran is a Veteran. She'd have had a
very hard time without her husband, Tom Cilenti, her driver. As
Marce Norwest said, 'What an awesome couple.""
