Patricia Diane Dennis, age 68, of Knoxville, Tennessee, passed away on February 28, 2025. A devoted mother, grandmother, and caregiver, Diane dedicated 45 years of her life as a registered nurse, serving others with compassion and grace. Her faith as a devoted Christian guided her in all she did.
Diane was the loving mother of four and the proud grandmother of six. She had a deep passion for raising quarter horses, a pursuit she enjoyed for over a decade. In her well-earned retirement, she found peace and joy by the beach in Florida, where she embraced life's simple pleasures.

Diane's memory will be cherished by her children: Keith (Holly Lemons) and Jacob Roberts, Emily Stottler (Joey), and Leslee Gray (Billy). She also leaves behind six adored grandchildren: Lainey, Lauren, and Layla Gray; Leona, Sawyer and Rosie Stottler; and Carmie, May, Chu and Yogi Roberts.
