She is lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Lisa Douglas Lopez (Rich) of Starkville, Mississippi, and Natalia Douglas Estes (Joe Don) of Bowling Green, Kentucky.

For decades, Dianne faithfully served her church and community in countless ways. Her dedication included teaching Sunday school, leading Acteens and WMU, directing Vacation Bible School, singing in the church choir, serving as church pianist, coaching Bible drill teams, and offering her time and talents wherever needed. Her steadfast faith and servant’s heart left a lasting impact on all who knew her.

Dianne was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. Her love for her family knew no bounds, and there was nothing she would not do for those she held dear. Her faith was unwavering.

Though she will be deeply missed here on earth, her family finds comfort in the promise of eternal life and rejoices in knowing she is now in the arms of her loving Savior, Jesus Christ.

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” — John 14:6

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Gentiva Hospice for the exceptional care and compassion shown during her final days.

Dianne’s legacy of faith, love, and service will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
