Diane attended Timken Vocational High School, graduating in Cosmetology and became one of Canton’s best beauticians.  Diane was baptized at a young age at Mount Olive Baptist Church.  She attended Sunday School, Bible Study, and sang in the Junior Choir and later in the Mass Choir. 

Diane’s favorite praise– Hallelujah, Thank You Jesus, she loved reading, especially the Bible, cooking, family gatherings, selling Mary Kay, selling insurance, and most of all doing hair. She loved talking with people and never met a stranger.
