Linda Diana Soliday, age 75, of Woodward, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on October 26, 2025. She was born on April 1, 1950, in Woodward, Oklahoma, to Elsworth John and Evelyn Pearl Soliday.

Diana grew up in Fort Supply, Oklahoma, where she attended grade school and high school. She was baptized at the Bible Baptist Church in Woodward, on September 21, 1975. In 1970, she married Donnie Branstetter at Bible Baptist Church, and together they welcomed two children, Dusti and Darrin.

For 36 years, Diana faithfully served the State of Oklahoma as a Senior Cook. Her dedication, work ethic, and kindness left a lasting impression on those who worked alongside her.

Diana's greatest joy in life came from spending time with her family-especially her grandson and great-granddaughter. She loved cooking, canning, and baking, and her kitchen was often filled with the warmth of her delicious creations and the laughter of loved ones.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Elsworth John and Evelyn Pearl Soliday; her son, Darrin Branstetter; sister, Darlene Weder; brothers, Lowell Soliday and Bernard Soliday; and nephews, JoeDon Soliday and Michael Soliday.

Diana is survived by her daughter, Dusti Stallings, and husband Mark of Kremlin, Oklahoma; her brothers, Keith Hunter of Woodward, Oklahoma and Larry Soliday of Fort Supply, Oklahoma; her sister, Arleta Pummel of Woodward, Oklahoma; her beloved grandson, Draden Stallings, and wife Aubrey and great-granddaughter Parker Jo of Kremlin, Oklahoma.

Diana will be remembered for her feisty spirit, strong faith, and deep love for her family. Her legacy of kindness and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
