From a young age, she was known for her generous spirit and her ability to light up any room with her radiant smile. Dianna attended Bethel High School in Graham, Washington, where she formed many of the lifelong friendships that she cherished.
Dianna's greatest joy in life was her family, especially her four treasured children: Chance, Dollya, Denisa, and Delilah. She was a nurturing and loving mother who delighted in celebrating holidays with her children, creating cherished memories that will forever remain in their hearts. The Fourth of July held a special place in her heart, as it was a time she loved sharing with her family.
