In 1976 Diana met her husband Craig through Piqua Baptist Church in Piqua, OH. Together they have three children. Throughout her life, Diana remained active in children and youth program ministry. Diana also participated in her church choir and often accompanied Craig and their three children as they brought music to many local churches.

Diana had the opportunity to live in several states, beginning in Piqua, OH; Darlington, SC; Johnson City, TN; Englewood, OH; Summerville, SC; Melbourne, FL; and Sumter, SC. As a result, she worked in multiple career paths. Her early career focused on cosmetology and fitness instruction. She directed and developed child care programs for the Hartsville, SC YMCA. She also established a career in banking and finished out her career as an optometrist technician. 

Ultimately, Diana loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Her brightest earthly joy was found in being a wife, twin, mother, and grandmother to her grandchildren.
