Diane graduated from Huntsville High School in 1969 and attended Jacksonville State University. She settled in Marietta, Georgia where she spent 20 years working with the City of Marietta. She and Ron retired to Lake Sinclair and then Anniston Alabama. After Ron’s passing, she returned to Huntsville where she worked in the finance department of Wyle Laboratories. She then retired again to be with her daughter, Rebecca, in Florida where the two of them would often enjoy in tourist adventures together. Diane was known for her constant desire to “get up and go.” She was always willing to accompany others on errand runs, dining out, and shopping (especially junkin’!) When traveling, she always preferred the scenic route for fear she’d miss out on all the good stuff waiting to be discovered along the way. Diane will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2019 at Cheatham Hill Memorial Park’s Columbarium in Marietta, Georgia. Visitors will be accepted beginning at 2:30 pm. Service at 3:00. Following cremation, her remains will be interred at Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, Alabama.
