Diana was born at Phoebe Putney Hospital in Albany, GA on March 10, 1976, to Jamie Blackburn and Paul Colen Ethridge. She was raised in Baconton, GA and moved to Macon, GA upon her marriage in 1995.
It was while living in Macon that she gave birth to her beloved daughters. She relocated with her family to Clemmons, NC in 2004.
Diana worked various positions during her life, including CNA and real estate agent; however, the role for which she was most proud was being a homemaker for her family, whom she loved unconditionally. Diana was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church in Clemmons. Diana loved her kitties, reading, doing diamond art and spending time at the beach with her family.
In addition to her parents, Diana was preceded in death by her brother, James Clayton Ethridge.
Diana was survived by her best friend and husband of 25 years, Darrell Eugene “Dusty” Holton, Jr, her two cherished daughters Rayanne Victoria Holton Quinn (Andrew) of Clemmons and Ashlynn Sara Holton (Jordan) of Winston-Salem, two sisters, Paula Taylor of Albert Lea, MN and Joy Miller (Robert) of Baconton and by her many cousins, nieces and nephews.
A private funeral Mass will be held in her honor at Holy Family Catholic Church on Wednesday, June 16, 2021.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations in Diana’s name to NAMI, National Alliance on Mental Illness. Expressions of sympathy may be addressed to her residence, 5331 Sterling Forest Dr, Clemmons, NC 27012.
The family expresses great gratitude to the staff of the Intensive Care Unit at Forsyth Medical Hospital for their compassion and care for Diana, especially her RN’s, Kayla and Ashley.
“The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want…and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
