Dianna spent her life taking care of everyone she loved. She helped raise her niece and nephew, took care of her brother when he was sick, and did anything and everything to help her beloved parents and her 3 great nieces. She had two fur babies, Calli, the chihuahua, and Lola, the chiweenie. Dianna never met a stranger and always lit up the room with her kind soul and inspirational spirit. She found joy in watching wrestling, traveling, concerts, tweety bird, and anything to do with the Tennessee Volunteers. Her love for music and concerts allowed her to meet so many amazing friends, who quickly became family.
"Mushie" was a nickname given to Dianna as a child and it means “beautiful flower” and a beautiful, unique flower is exactly what she was.
