Mrs. Dianne was born in Arnaudville, Louisiana in 1957. She graduated in the class of 1975 from Arnaudville High School. She worked in oilfield administration for 11 years until deciding to pursue a career in nursing. She received her Associates of Science in nursing from Louisiana State University at Eunice. As a nurse, she worked as a Certified Case Manager and was well known in the industry for her dedication and compassion for her patients. Dianne was affectionately known by her family as "Mimi" and "Nanny Dee". Dianne will be remembered for her generosity by many people, but mostly as a devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother. She was passionately loyal without expectation or regret. Dianne had a servant's heart, always helping her family in any way that she could. She loved to dance, spend time in her beautiful flower garden, and take family trips to the beach, her favorite place. She was happiest when her entire family was together and loved having weekend gatherings at her home. She was patient, always supportive and encouraging, always wise and kind. Dianne was a source of comfort for so many, offering advice, a listening ear and often acted as a second mom to many of her children's friends. She always had a smile, even when times were tough. She had a quiet strength and positive outlook, always looking ahead to better days and being grateful for the many blessings in her life. Dianne was ever calm and serene in her Catholic faith. She often prayed Novenas and Rosaries while traveling to and from work appointments. She loved and lived every moment with grace until God called her home. May she rest in eternal peace.Survivors include her loving husband of 35 years, Mr. Mark Johnson; her daughter Victoria Johnson Ward and her husband Corey; her son Trevor Johnson and his wife Michelle; her daughter Jamie Johnson; her grandchildren Brayden Ward, River Ward and Zoe Johnson; her mother Pearl Walker Guidroz; her sister Bonnie Guidroz Hayes and her husband Craig; her sister Brenda Guidroz Hughes and her husband Keith; her brother Mike Guidroz and his wife Bonnie and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins.
