IN MEMORY OF DIANA PETKOVICH

  • by

The beautiful posters by Diana and Milutin, Diana’s husband, provided the profile needed to win for the Canada geese in Rockland County.

Diana Petkovich was the soul of the Coalition to Prevent the Destruction of Canada Geese in Rockland County in the early 90s. Without Diana and Milutin, her husband, both artists, we would not have had the high profile that led to saving the geese.

In addition to her deep compassion for geese, Diana rescued hundreds (if not thousands) of cats over the years and gave them all veterinary care and medications, turning her kitchen into a veterinary satellite center.
Diana and her husband made hundreds of posters for our many demonstrations and appearances at the Rockland Legislature, thus giving our ad hoc group a bold presence.

Her formal obituary reads, “She loved people and animals. Always helping those in need and personally rescuing hundreds of animals and providing them food, shelter, and support.” Diana will be deeply missed.
