Diana was an active member of Mariners Bethel Methodist Church and established the “Clean My Sheep” program – a ministry that collects and distributes hotel sized toiletries and other personal hygiene products for those in need. Diana was also a volunteer and a helping hand for several other ministries within Mariners.
Diana’s profession consisted of 49+ years in the “Convention/Meeting Planning” field, 20 years as an employee and 20+ years self employed. Diana truly loved her profession and enjoyed the personal relationships formed along the way while travelling around the world.
Living so close to the beach allowed for sunrise/sunset walks, shell collecting and reflection. A more generous heart will be hard to find. Diana had a great sense of humor, strong compassion for others, was a true animal lover and faithful daughter/sister/auntie and friend.
