She was united in marriage to Doyle Jones in September of 2007.

Diana lived in Mountain Grove, Missouri, for many years and previously lived in Grovespring, Missouri. She loved to crochet and sew, and she loved taking care of her grandbabies. They were her entire world. She had a wonderful “gang” of friends. She really appreciated the girl bond. Diana was also an avid Texas Hold’em player, and she loved to kick the men’s butts in Mountain Grove.

Diana was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. She was a caring neighbor and friend to many people. We have many great memories that we will always cherish.
