Diana loved people, and learned she could do much from her bed to counsel and minister to them. She had worked for five years as a volunteer at St. Joseph's emergency room, and also as a patient advocate for the Hospice of Tucson. Diana was especially concerned with those who suffer grief and pain. In spite of her own pain, she always put others' needs first.

She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Diana served faithfully in many callings including gospel doctrine and spiritual living teacher. She offered a great sacrifice to serve as mission mother in the Portugal Lisbon South Mission. She especially loved her missionaries, and felt great affection and caring for them. She also was devoted to supporting her husband in his church assignments, even though often remained at home in bed. God bless the memory and life of this wonderful and compassionate woman. She is finally out of pain, for which we express gratitude to our loving Father-in-Heaven.
