Dianna Odell Ladd, 75, of Lawrenceburg, IN, passed away Sunday, June 16, 2024, in Lawrenceburg, IN.
She was born July 16, 1948, in Cincinnati, OH, daughter of the late Ralph Raisor and Viola (Duncan) Raisor.
Dianna became a certified nursing assistant in 1993, and worked in Home Health for several years.
She was baptized in 1955, and was a member of the Methodist Church in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Everyone called her "Grandma," even if they just met. She loved horses, traveling, and Chinese food. Her hobbies were sewing and bird watching. She was highly passionate about holidays, especially Christmas, for which she kept her wardrobe and home heavily decorated. She spent her days visiting family and friends all across town and state and her nights watching Hallmark movies, Harry Potter, and Pirates of the Caribbean marathons. She instilled her love for cooking into her grandchildren, and always made sure to bring the family together for dinner. According to her loving family, she could be a very sassy lady, which they will all miss terribly.
Dianna is survived by her children, Ralph Kinman, Christine Curlin, and Teresa Lacy; grandchildren, Kayla Curlin, Stephanie (Trent) Evans, Holly (Michael) McChesney, Hannah Curlin; Ashley Marcum, David (Sarah) Lacy, Robbie Lacy, Tiffany (Ryan) Wyan, Samantha (Stephan) Pendergrass, great-grandchildren, Brayden, Kylie, Emma, Elijah, Grace, Carson, Logan, Chelsey, little David, Levi, Caydence, Elise, Amelia, Heidi, Ila and Eden; sisters, Barbara Leptak, Mary Cleary, and sister-in-law, Faye.
