Pensacola, FL – Diane C. McMillan, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and auntie, passed away peacefully at the age of 82 on September 2, 2025, in her hometown of Pensacola, FL. A devoted servant of Jehovah, Diane leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering faith that touched all who knew her.
Born on June 27, 1943, to William and Tommie Randolph, Diane began a life dedicated to her family and faith. A graduate of Booker T. Washington Senior High School in 1961, she furthered her education at Pensacola Junior College in 1962, focusing on the secretarial field. She dedicated 42 years of her professional life to the Escambia County School District, where she worked as a Secretary. Throughout her career, she was a dedicated member of the Escambia Education Association Union, tirelessly representing her co-workers and friends.
Diane's commitment to her faith began at a young age, dedicating her life to Jehovah at the tender age of eleven. Upon her retirement from the Escambia County School District's Accounts Payable department in 2005, she devoted herself to the full-time ministry as a regular pioneer. In this capacity, she fulfilled Jesus' command to preach the good news of the Kingdom, finding deep joy in sharing the Bible's message of hope and comfort with her neighbors. She deeply appreciated her network of fellow Witnesses, sharing her passion for helping others grow closer to God.
Family was the cornerstone of Diane's life, and her profound impact will be forever felt by those she loved. She is preceded in death by her parents, William and Tommie Randolph; her sister, Lovelle R. Green; two brothers, James Timothy (Deborah) Randolph, Sacramento, CA, Leonard (Keilani) Randolph, Humble, TX. She is survived by her loving and devoted daughter, Alison Davis; her two loving sons, Ralph (Debra) Davis, Jr. of Augusta, GA, and Troy Davis, Sr. Five grandchildren: Ralph Davis III, of Augusta, GA., Dr. Olyvia Davis, Birmingham, AL., Dominique (Marquis) Travis, Spring, TX., Troy Davis Jr., and Alexis Davis. She was also blessed with five great-grandchildren McKenzie, Makari, Maliyah, and Makai Travis of Spring, TX and Kemi Davis, Pensacola, FL.
Four loving brothers, John (Linda) Randolph of Houston, TX., David (Deborah) of Washington, DC, Norman Randolph and Newman (Cathy) Randolph. Two loving and devoted sisters, Phyllis (Wilber) McIntosh and Pamela Randolph. Extended family of support from Diana Randolph and many nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and so many beautiful spiritual sisters and brothers..
Diane's kind and nurturing spirit was unmatched, and those who loved her will forever remember her generous and compassionate nature. Whether offering a helping hand to a friend, providing support to her family, or sharing a comforting story, her presence was a source of great comfort.
As we remember Diane, we celebrate her beautiful spirit, the countless lives she touched, and the wisdom she imparted. Her faithfulness, kindness, and loving dedication to Jehovah and others were the hallmarks of her life. Her legacy of faith, family, and unwavering support will forever remain in our hearts.
