Over the years she created a loving home filled with fun, always open to her children's friends. She was a member of Crestview Presbyterian Church and The Couples Club for over 50 years. She was a receptionist in the Probate Court office of Judge Richard Metcalf and enjoyed the many friends she made there.

Dear Diane and George,



Just heard of Diane's mother's passing today; she was such a delightful and charming woman, easily kept close in your hearts.

I am so sorry I am late with this note of sympathy. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your family.

Carolyn, Diane and Gary: I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s death. We had not seen her in a very long time, but remember her always smiling. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Sincerely, Melanie Courtright Raley

Carolyn Courtright: Our sympathies are with you and your family in this time of grief. Our mother just passed at age 86 on Monday June 5 and I remember being neighbors on Summit street in the 50's. We lived at 1820 Summit St. It's sort of ironic that our mothers passed so close in time. Just caught your mom's passing while reviewing my mom's obit on the internet. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim and Sally Downs

Diane,



My deepest sympathy to you and your family.



I know your mother through you. And knowing you, she must have been wonderful. It was a blessing to have had her with you for such a long time.



May God in His infinite wisdom, wrap His love around you and give you a glimpse of the perfect life that lies ahead for your mother.
