Dienette received a Master’s Degree in Child and Youth Care Administration from Nova Southeastern University in 1994. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Winthrop University in 1976. Her most current position was Supervisor of the Substance Use Program for Family Preservation Services of Hendersonville. Dienette loved assisting the community and making a difference in her clients’ lives. Her coworkers recognized her as an absolute specialist in her field, saying she was highly respected by everyone at FPS and in the community.
She spent her time on this earth lovingly serving the Lord. She attended Midway Baptist Church in Columbus, North Carolina, where she served as a Sunday School teacher. She was instrumental in Midway’s Celebrate Recovery Program: she loved that she could reach people, not only with what she knew as a counselor, but what she knew of God. She wanted to take her faith and use it to help the hurting people. Outside of church, she enjoyed attending plays at the Flat Rock Playhouse. She also loved spending time visiting her daughter, son-in-law, and grandpuppy!
Due to Covid-19, we will not be holding a public service. However, if you would like to honor Dienette, please do so by making a donation to Leukemia research at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in her name, attending a play at the Flat Rock Playhouse, or spending time with your loved ones.
