Diana C. Johnson

She was born in Logan, West Virginia, on August 20, 1952.

Diana shared 56 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Jack Johnson, and was fiercely devoted to her family.

Diana leaves behind her husband, Jack; her children, Jack Johnson and his wife, Kelly, and Melissa Cunningham and her husband, Rob; her cherished grandchildren, Haylea Kahn and her husband, Tony, Courtney Cunningham, and Natalie Crosby and her husband, Casey; her great-grandson, Leon Kahn; her sisters, Shirley Abbott and Linda Cline; and her brother, Rodney Sparks. She also leaves behind many dear friends and neighbors who will miss her kindness, warmth, and caring spirit.

Diana was preceded in death by her parents, Dellos and Zella Sparks; her sister, Glenda Sparks; and her brother, Danny Sparks.

Throughout her life, Diana dedicated herself to serving others. She loved children and had a special gift for caring for them. For 35 years, she enjoyed a successful career operating an in-home daycare service.

Diana was a member of New Life Church in Gahanna and Whitehall, where she served faithfully in the children’s ministry and as a greeter for many years.

A private graveside service will be held for family and close friends.

May we carry her love in our hearts, her faith in our lives, and her laughter in our memories. We take comfort in knowing that this is not goodbye forever, but simply until we meet again.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Diana’s name may be made to New Life Church in Gahanna or Whitehall.
