Her Dog Bella was the light of her day and gave her so much joy. She also cherished the many phone calls with family and friends back home in Alabama. Autumn was her favorite time of the year cheering on the Crimson Tide. Roll Tide!
She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings Ershel Cooper, Emmet Cooper, Neddie Phillips, Joyce Gilbert and David Cooper.
Diane is survived by her companion, daughter, son, son-in-law Todd Savidge and three granddaughters. McKenna Diane, Sarah and Maranda Kelly.

Diane was one of my mothers caregivers. It takes a very special person to do that and I always appreciated her. I enjoyed visiting with her and after my moms passing often ran into her at Fred Meyer. So very sorry for your loss.

Donna, I will be thinking about you and missing Diane. She was a wonderful friend that I truly missed after moving to Arizona but have never forgotten. She had a smile and personality that lit up a room. She will never be forgotten by those of us who knew and loved her!!
