10 Best Recurring Parks And Recreation Characters

4. Diane Lewis-Swanson

Ron And Tammy Parks And Rec
NBC

Ron Swanson is amazing at many things but his love life isn't one of them. After a few tries, he finally got it right with his third wife, Diane. A junior high school vice principal and single mother of two, Diane met Ron when he and Andy stopped by to fix a pothole in front of her house. Their romance grew from there, culminating in the duo eloping at City Hall.

Unlike Ron's previous wives, aka Tammy I and Tammy II, Diane likes Ron the way he is and brings out the best in him. She's also one of the few people on the show who isn't afraid to call Ron out when he's being ridiculous.
