Diana was the embodiment of unconditional love. Her greatest accomplishments are her three children, and four grandchildren. Diana loved her family, spending any and all the time she could with them. Diana loved her dog, Joey. She enjoyed camping and was an amazing poet.

Diana loved roses and all flowers. Her favorite time of year was spring when the flowers would bloom. She would walk around town and pick lilacs to put in a vase on her table. She would help anyone, anytime if she was able. She always had a smile to give everyone.
