Charlotte Diane Dumont

Norfolk - Charlotte "Diane" Dumont, 54, passed away on March 25, 2014. Diane was born on a military base in Japan to the late Billy and Brenda Coleman Metcalf. She lived in many locations throughout the country and the world, eventually returning to the Norfolk area where she had spent part of her teenage years.

Diane had a variety of occupations during her life, but she regarded raising her children to be her greatest purpose. Her beauty, grace and vibrant presence affected everyone who knew her. Diane loved unconditionally and protected those she loved fiercely.
