Diana M Hiatt

Born on May 8, 1955, in El Paso, Texas, Diana's life journey was marked by immense strength, unwavering courage, and an abundance of love.

Growing up in Hayward, CA, Diana embraced a new life in Florida, where she found joy in exploring the world around her. A passionate traveler and nature enthusiast, she cherished her time on cruises and road trips, filling her days with laughter and adventure. She spent her final years in Ocoee, Florida, where she left an unforgettable impact on her community and loved ones.

Diana was a true embodiment of resilience. Having originally conquered breast cancer, she continued to bravely combat the illness for an additional 15 years, displaying a warrior's spirit until the end. Her indomitable will and determination were a source of inspiration for everyone around her.

Diana leaves behind a loving family, including her sons, Michael Hiatt (and wife Sasha) and Clinton J. Hiatt (and wife Desiree), along with her 10 grandchildren. She is also survived by her devoted siblings, Alvaro “Buddy” Olivas (wife Lupe), Irene McWhorter, Ismael “Mel” Olivas (wife Triana), Lillian Grnya (husband Steve), and Angie Medina (husband Jake), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, great-great nieces, and great-great nephews.
