How 'bout a witch hazel, Hamemalis x intermedia 'Diane'? Winter flowering
with deep red, spider-like flowers.

There is, but it is Diana, Princess of Wales. A subtle difference to be
sure, but not exactly 'Diane'.

In my family, we plant Blue Spruce for significant occasions, except for
when it came time to plant for my mother. We chose two of her favourite
apples and planted apple trees.
Did (does) Diane have a particular favourite?

called "Sweet Diane"; a chrysanthemum called "Diane Stoakes"; a hosta
named "Diana Gray Dalton" & another called "Dianne"; dahlias called
"Monkstown Diane" & "Ruskin Diane"; daylilies called "Daphne Diane" &
"Diane Joiner"; a rhododendron called "Diane" with cream-colored flowers;
a Coleus hybrid called "Diane's Gold"; Irises called "Miss Diane," "Megan
Diane" & "Benton Diane" (or "Diane" in the Benton series of heirloom
irises); a Clivia hybrid called "Diane"; a lilac bush called "Diane"; an
heirloom rose called "Diane de Poitiers"; a Rose of Sharon hybiscus very
hardy called "Diane".... Pam's suggestion is perhaps best if you're in a
temperate zone because the witchhazel "Diane" is easy to obtain & easy to
grow & is beautiful for one reason or another in every season of the year.
The Rose of Sharon "Diane" should also be easy to fine & is easy to grow.
The rhododendron "Diane" according to Greer is in production so shouldn't
be hard to find.

This suggestion of Hamamelis x intermedia 'Diane' is a great one if space (vase
shaped, 12' high by 12' wide at maturity) and USDA zone (6-9) permit. Check
out this website's USDA map to find out your zone.

As Paghat has indicated, it has some interest in all seasons too.
The flowers have a terrific fragrance, and in the Fall they put on a good
show with their bright green leaves changing from yellow, orange, to red. They
are not terribly fussy shrubs: drought resistant, sun or light shade,
preferring
moist/well drained soil (neutral/acidic), and little attention required with
regard
to pruning.

smells so nice.
