Dianna McDonald Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bland-Brumback Funeral Home - Stockton on Mar. 19, 2026.
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Dianna Grace McDonald of Stockton, Missouri, on March 13, 2026, at the age of 63 after a long battle with illness.

Dianna grew up in Pittsburg, Kansas before moving to Stockton, Missouri, in 1974 at the age of 10, where her parents owned a convenience store and restaurant for many years. She graduated from Stockton High School in 1982.

She cherished time spent with her sons and grandsons and had a loving bond with her sisters, Terri and Belinda, who helped care for her in her later years. Dianna loved making memories and fulfilling her bucket list with her close friends Barb Wesley, Phyllis Wright, Melissa Neill, and Bill Melvin, who also provided care and support.

An animal lover at heart, Dianna sheltered and cared for many stray animals, as well as her own cherished pets.

Dianna is survived by her two sons, Matt and Amy Ince of Fair Grove, Missouri, and Derek Ince of Springfield, Missouri; her three beloved grandsons, Carson, Caden, and Mason; and her three sisters, Terri and Steve Feagon of Pittsburg, Kansas, Belinda Cramer of Stockton, Missouri, and Cindy Marsh of Texarkana, Texas. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who loved her dearly.

Dianna was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Joyce Hall, her brother Donnie Hall, and her grandparents.

Dianna did not wish to be mourned, but to be celebrated. A celebration of life will be held at a later date to honor her memory, laughter, and the joy she brought to all who knew her.
