Not sure what to say?

Through my good friend Ty, who frequently invited me into his home, I had the privilege of meeting Dianne. Warm, humorous, and brimming with energy, Dianne was truly remarkable. I can still recall the time she asked me to use one Arabic word to describe her, and I replied, "Jamila," which means "beautiful." She's a perfect fit for that word. We shall never forget her laughter and kindness. My sympathies go out to the Ivey and Howeth families. May she rest in peace.

My Aunt Dianne meant the world to me. She wasn’t just my aunt.. she was a piece of my heart. Her love, her voice, and the way she made everyone feel special will stay with me forever. I loved her so deeply, and there will never be a day she isn’t missed. She may be gone, but she’ll never be forgotten.

Dianne was a special friend after meeting her when we were members at Nesbitt Baptist Church, and were very young women. Tracy, Rusty and Lori were all little kiddos and so was our Tammy. We have not been able to see each other in a while, but we always had that special bond and hug for each other when we did. God bless you Glen, Tracy Rusty,and Lori. Plus all of her grands and greatgrands. We will see each other again Dianne, then it will be forever precious friend.

Beautiful Lady! So sorry for your loss. Many prayers sent your way.

I have known and loved Dianne since I was a little girl. My dad and Glen were Firefighters together when we all lived in Marshall many years ago. She had the warmest smile and laughter that seemed to penetrate your soul. It is forever in my heart. I am Blessed to have known this sweet lady. My love and prayers are with you all.

Prayers to all the family .

With love in our hearts, we release them into the arms of heaven.
Thinking of her family and wishing them comfort and peace, knowing the light of such a beautiful spirit shines on in their memories Love Joy Oney

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Through the years I’ve known her by many names, Ms Ivey, Dianne, Noni, and friend! In each case she always made me feel welcome, and special! My guess is she made everyone else feel this way, too!
She was greatly loved and will be missed just as much.
I am so thankful that she spent her final days surrounded by her family whom she loved dearly! My prayers go out to each one of you!
