Before her retirement she was employed as a licensed practical nurse at W.C.A. Hospital for 10 years and had earlier worked for Staff Builders and the former Manor Oak Nursing Home. She and Ted attended the Watts Flats United Methodist Church. Diana's greatest joy was spending time with her large family. She and Ted loved going to her children's and her grandchildren's activities and sporting events. She will be remembered as a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who loved cooking and baking for her family, especially at Christmas time.

She is also survived by 16 great grandchildren, and several step-grandchildren and step-great grandchildren, two sisters, Sandy Maztner, Darla Burgess and a brother, Frank Franklin, as well as several nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Alfred Franklin, Jr. a sister, Doris and two great grandsons, Samuel Bartow and Ashton Roe.
