I often think of her as I play the piano, as I play by ear as well, just not as good as she did.
I was always amazed of the love that shown from her eyes, the love she had for her dtr, triplets & the Lord. I just pray to be half the women she was. Keep doing what you do best Aunt Diane, play that Golden piano, know you get to kick it up several notches!! Thanks for always defending me, your love & inspiration.
So many fun memories and fun trips here and there
It brings me great joy and sadness, both at the same time. To know that she is no longer with us. However; she is playing the golden piano, and singing the “old” gospel hymns at the foot of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
She always enjoyed, immensely going to all the local nursing homes and singing to all the shut ends and spreading the good news of The Gospel, just as mamaw did.
Now she is singing to a different crowd of people. I’m so richly admired her desire, to sing to all those in the nursing homes. Thank you for your service, dedication and devotion to all those shut downs. We so need more people that would take more time to do that.
You will be greatly missed.
Love 💕 Glenda
Diane was a very sweet lady,she will be missed.Nancy Gaddis
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss.
I had the privilege of becoming friends with Diana during the time I was the manager of President Place apartments.
She would visit me at the office quite often, many times with lunch or a sweet snack. There were times she would invite me in her home to play her piano and talk about the granddaughters she was so very proud of and loved.Her kindness was extended to many people.
She was a wonderful Christian lady. We know she’s in Heaven celebrating with our Savior and her family. I will remember you in my prayers.
We are so very sorry. Prayers of comfort for each of you. Vickie & Larry Douglas
We are so sorry for your loss. Sis. Diana was a precious person. We loved her testimony of the Lord, her piano playing, and her gracious smile.
I know she”s in heaven singing praises for the Lord and playing the piano like she did hear on earth.
She certainly was a good christian lady .
We will miss Diane so much. And we loved her. She was a sweet sweet lady a good Christian.
We sent out sincerest sympathy. Our thoughts & prayers are with you in the coming days.

Diane helped me take care of my mother and she was a wonderful caregiver. She was patient, kind, and loving. She helped me navigate the painful process of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease and she had a profound influence on my mother’s life during a difficult time. I will always be indebted to her and grateful for what she did for us.
