Diana was born in Junction City, Kansas on June 13, 1964 to her parents Ray and Lilly Weber.
She graduated from White City High School in 1982 and a few years later from Kansas City Medical and Dental College as a Registered Medical Assistant. From there she went on to have a 25 plus years career in the laboratory at Irwin Army Community Hospital.
On June 28, 1988 Diana welcomed her daughter Bethany who remained her only child. She claimed she did it right the first time and did not need to try again.
In 2016 Diana moved to Kansas City, MO to be closer to her daughter and son-in-law. There she began a new career at Randstad Sourceright helping with recruiting and onboarding efforts for Honeywell.
In 2018 Diana's two favorite humans were born, her dearest grandbabies Jack & Rory.
Diana was a generous, hardworking, kind and chatty gal who was adored by everyone she met. She loved her three fur babies Sweet Pea, Snowy & Peanut, the color yellow, binge-watching Criminal Minds, a nice Iced Chai Tea Latte, and spending time with her family and friends.
In a letter Diana penned to Bethany in 2018 she provided the following advice for life that the family wanted to share:
I leave you with these last thoughts... Always make your bed even if its right before you get back in it. Love, with all your heart and don't hold back. Not everything has to be perfect, find the perfection in the differences. Be kind and forgiving especially when you don't want to. And, I cannot say this enough, make sure you laugh and enjoy life, ALL of it, even the rough times, that is the part that makes the good times better which makes life worth living.
Diana was preceded in death by her parents Ray and Lilly Weber of Junction City. She is survived by her daughter Bethany Ridens-Nelson, son-in-law Josh Ridens-Nelson, grandchildren Jack & Rory Nelson, her beloved siblings Deb Perdue & Mitch Weber, and their respective spouses Bob Perdue and Darren Blosser.
The family asks that you join them in a celebration of life on Saturday July 16, 2022 from 12 - 4 PM CT at 908 NE 61st St. Gladstone, MO 64118.
