As the oldest sibling, Diane was the trailblazer and leader for her sister and brothers. Gracefully, she set the precedent high for all the firsts that they would all eventually hit! She was their teacher making sure they knew who and what was expected of each of them in all endeavors of their lives. Diane led the way in pursuing an education. She loved being a nurse and cared deeply for her patients and co-workers. She was a RN in Missouri, Mississippi, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Texas. She worked in many different areas of nursing including labor and delivery, surgery, geriatric, home health, and even as a patient herself, she was telling the nurses how to do their job. Diane’s greatest accomplishment in life was raising her two daughters as a single mom. She didn’t let anyone get away without telling them all about her daughters and their children. She loved them with all her heart and was so very proud of them. The family will be having a private celebration of her life in the future. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that you would give to your favorite charity. Cremation & Arrangements are by Robertson Funeral Directors of Clarendon.
