Diana Lynne Fisk

A choir of Angels came for Diana Lynne Fisk, 59, on Thursday, May 13, 2010. She is now with her Heavenly Father, looking down on us now. Diana was born in Jacksonville, Texas and was raised in Dallas. Diana attended Bryan Adams and later Woodrow Wilson High School where she graduated in 1969. Diana attended the University of North Texas where she graduated 1973. She then went to work in Dallas where she met her husband Charles. Diana and Charles moved to Austin in 1974 where Charles finished Architecture School. They married in 1975 and caught the "travel bug" on their honeymoon in St. Thomas, V.I. Diana loved to travel and visited most of the Caribbean Islands, the Hawaiian Islands, Catalina Island and Europe. Diana worked as an Event Coordinator for the Texas School for the Deaf from 1976 until she retired in 2003. In 1983, Diana was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and later survived a bone marrow transplant in 1986. She became the first bone marrow transplant patient to survive in Austin. From the time of diagnosis until her recovery, Diana credits her faith, support from her family and friends and support from her medical team as cause for her cure. In 1990, after two years of recovery time, Charles and Diana adopted their daughter Jacquelyn. After being blessed with 25 years of a cancer-free life, Diana was diagnosed in the summer of 2009 with Ovarian Cancer to which she ultimately succumbed. Diana was preceded in death by her father, Claude Reece McClung and her mother Ruby Joyce McClung. She is survived by her husband Charles and her daughter Jacquelyn, her sisters, Patsy Barnes, and Claudia Utecht, her brother Mike McClung, D.C., numerous nephews and a grand-niece.
