Diana Smith Obituary
Diana Smith was born on Dec. 10, 1949, in Baytown, Texas, to Clyde and Pauline Williams. She was a native and lifelong resident of Highlands, Texas, and was a member of Highlands United Methodist Church. We rest in the peace knowing she is with her heavenly father. She was a perfect example of how to love others. She enjoyed spending time with friends, family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; going on vacations and casinos. She lived life to the fullest and was the life of the party. She was always available for anyone no matter how far away or what time of day or night it was. She was considered a second mom/grandma to many people. She considered her friends like family and cherished her time with them. She will be greatly missed by all. Hearing the name Diana Smith will make you smile and laugh from the memory of what she did or said.
Those left to cherish her memory are her fiancé, Mike Simon; sons, Ronald R. Smith Jr. (Paula), Ricky Smith (Rosalyn); daughter, Christy Smith (Jason), Mary and Bryan White; brothers, Clyde Williams (Lynn), Bobby Williams (Bonnie); and sister, Laura Jarvis (Gaylan). She also has 10 grandchildren, Reagan Meuth (Eric), Savanna Smith, Mallory Clingan (Sean), AJ White (Katie), Madison White, Chelsea Barrington (Buddy), Paris Hendry (Gary), Jordan Page (Maggie), Christa Page and Cason Page. She also has six great-grandchildren, Emma, Jaxon, Caroline, Matthew, Luke and Calvin.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 37 years, Ronnie Smith; and by her parents, Clyde and Pauline Williams.
Visitation and funeral will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2020, at Highlands United Methodist Church in Highlands, Texas.

I loved Diane. I was 16 when I first met Diane. Ronald was a baby, her and Ronnie lived on Battlebell Road in Highlands. Diane was a wonderful Aunt to Scooter & Kelly, never forgetting their birthdays,sending them Halloween cards with cash, calling to check on them when they were sick, we took vacations together when the kids were little, she was skilled at making life fun. She taught me how to make chili. And, who could forget Ronnie and Diane's Thanksgiving Dinners, for everyone, in-laws, ex-in-laws (me) the lost, the lonely. That's Love!
To Ronald, Christy and Ricky, I am so sorry for your loss, but, you are all who you are because your Mom introduced you to God, raised you in his house, so you know, that your Mama fulfilled her dream.
She was the Best Mom ever. She knew her purpose. And she now has Eternal Life. She met Our Lord and Our Savior. What a Life Journey.
To Clyde, Bobby and Laura, I know you are all heart broken and I'm sorry for your loss.
To Scooter and Kelly, I know you both loved your Aunt Diane and I am sorry for your loss.
May you all remember the Precious Memories.
To God Be The Glory!

Sending my love to the family with lots of hugs. There will be an empty spot in this world that can never be filled but we will remember Diana with love. Prayers lifted for the family. May God grant you comfort, strength and peace as you go through this time of transition and may your time of mourning be short and your celebration of a beautiful life be eternal.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Diana's passing. Thoughts and prayers from the Mascorro-Crain families. I can remember her as far back from softball and baseball fields, her husband Ronnie and my dad Jesse. Many prayers to the Smith family!
