Time spent with family was important to Diana. A loving wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker, her family described her as a natural care giver, nurturing and “could put a smile on anyone’s face.” She also liked being outdoors. 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. As her children grew up and moved away, she adopted a couple of “kids” she called her babies…….Yorkshire Terriers Jack and Sarah. She had a weakness for McDonald’s coffee and would usually work her schedule that she could pick up a cup around 2 p.m. each day and then stop by to check on her dad.
