Time spent with family was important to Diana.

She would spend endless hours in her vegetable, rock and flower gardens. She was extremely proud of her roses. Her husband teased that her rock garden was really her “always” garden. “She was always re-arranging and re-working it.” Other outdoor activities she enjoyed were turkey and deer hunting. Diana also loved collecting antiques, especially Homer Lockland china, from flea markets and garage sales.
