Diana loved and treasured her family. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for them. She loved family get togethers. Holidays were for family and she loved nothing more than spending time with them.

She loved to sew and spent many hours sewing for others. She could make just about anything from fabric and thread. She made clothes for her family, doll clothes for her girl’s, tablecloths and napkins for every holiday, curtains, she could do it all. She was truly an artist.

Diana worked at many sewing jobs. She was the supervisor at Morgan Sportswear which later relocated and became Layton Sportswear. The ladies who worked there loved her. She was always asking them about their families and lives. She truly knew and loved her ladies.

She was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She had a strong testimony of her Savior, Jesus Christ. She served in Primary, Young Women’s, Relief Society, Emergency Preparedness, to name a few. She loved the ladies who she was assigned to minister to and those who ministered to her.
