Diane Elizabeth South, 62, of Alexandria, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 8, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones. Born in Covington, Kentucky, on September 17, 1963, Diane was the daughter of the late Jerry and Janet Brown. She dedicated 35 years of her life to caring for others as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Rosedale Green Nursing Home. Diane was known for her warm heart, strong work ethic, and love for the outdoors. She enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, and swimming-always happiest when spending time in nature and with her family. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Chucky Brown and Gerald Brown II. Diane is survived by her devoted husband of 30 years, Ronnie South; her daughters, Laura (Brittan) Taylor and Angie Lile; her step-sons, David South, Mike South, and Chris Fitterer; her brothers, Ronnie Brown and Jimmy Brown; her sister, Tina Brown; and her cherished grandchildren, Mason, Timmy, Autumn, and Taylor. Services will be announced at a later date. To share a memory or leave an online condolence for the family, please visit SerenityFuneralCare.com or the Serenity Funeral Care Facebook page.
