Diane Willoughby Obituary
Diane was predeceased in death by her mother, Matte Belle Wilson, father, Alvin Carlisle Wilson, and brothers, Alvin Carlisle Wilson, Jr. and Charles Frederick Wilson. She is survived by her husband William Robert "Bob" Willoughby, Jr, her daughter Kimberly Willoughby Harper (Eduardo Trinidad), her two grandsons, Logan, and Landon Harper, her three grandchildren, Rayna, Quinten, and Mykah Trinidad, and numerous members of her extended family and friends. Diane loved her two grandsons more than anything in this world. And she was loved by everyone that ever met her.
Diane began her teaching career with a long-term substitute teaching position at Shelton Park Elementary School. She then transferred to a full-time teaching position at Holland Elementary School. She quickly transferred to her beloved Thoroughgood Elementary School where she eventually retired from.
Diane loved laughing, going out to eat, shopping, and spending time at her beach house (especially with the Frederick ladies and the Neighbor ladies). She also loved fishing and visiting her grandson in Charlottesville. Diane loved life and made sure everyone around her was happy as well.
Memorial services will be determined later. A public notification will be made once the services have been scheduled. Condolences may be expressed at www.vacremationsociety.com

I remember Diane as my neighbor in Eggleston Hall at Frederick College in Portsmouth. She and her roommate Eva were always a lot of fun and sweet to everyone. I feel so fortunate to have reconnected recently at a Frederick girls' luncheon. She looked amazing. Her death was such a shock and I will be praying for comfort for her family and friends.

So so sorry to hear of Diane's death! As her only female cousin on the Barrett side she and I did many things together growing up. I remember one time we convinced Grandmother to let us go to the movies on a Sunday and then we had to walk home in the pouring rain. Grandmother never let us forget it. She will be missed!

From softball games to limousine rides to TPing her trees for her birthday, I will always remember the smiles and joy that Mrs. Willoughby always brought to our house and her neighbors. Peace to her family as she now rests in peace!
