Diana Moore Obituary


DIANA LYNN MOORE, 75, of Bim, WV went home to be with the Lord, her husband and son on September 17, 2025.
She was born September 23, 1949 to the late James and Marcelene Kerns of Bob White, WV. She was also preceded in death by her husband and son, Jr. and Robert "Tater" Moore. Her brother, Doug Kerns. Her in-laws, Taylor and Ethel Moore.
Diana grew up in Bob White, WV and was a 1967 Van High graduate. She and Jr. grew up together in Bob White then married in 1965 before he went to Vietnam. Their first home was at Y&O, then Jr. built their family home at Spring Hollow where they raised their family and built their businesses: a convenient store, sporting goods, home rentals, and her beauty shop where she made many friendships, memories, and touched many lives. She was saved at an early age and was a member of Cazy Freewill Baptist Church. She was also a longtime member of the VFW post 5578 Ladies Auxiliary.
While we were young, Mom enjoyed bowling on a women's bowling league and was also a Girl Scout leader for 2-3 years, teaching us girls about life, how to sew, cook, paint and appreciate life.
Her family was her world, she was the best mom, mama, and grandma... she always made sure we had whatever we needed and sometimes wanted, giving unselfishly of herself anytime, day or night. She loved being around people and always left them better than she found them with either her heart-warming smile, a hug, kind gesture, listening ear, a card, words of encouragement, compassion, wisdom, or her "just be yourself", "trust the Lord", or "give them enough rope" talks.
The love she showed everyone became very evident this past week! Many thanks to all the people who showed up for us, messaged, called or just took time out of their life to help us through. More importantly, for the many prayers! We are so proud to be her family & thank the Lord for her! She's our hero and will always be remembered for the wonderful, Christian example she was.
She is survived by daughter, Sheryl (Jerry) Beard: grandchildren, Emily (Josh) Fuller, Bethany Moore (Jeremiah), Leah Kessinger (Dallas), Dalton Kessinger, Landon Moore, Sierra Beard; great grandsons, Sawyer Beard, Jaylor Litton & Atlas Fuller; adopted daughter-in-law & granddaughter, Kelly & Delani Alle; sister, Karen Holcomb; sisters-in-law Ladonna Ball and Marie Kerns (Wendell); brother-in-law, Tony Moore; many nieces, nephews, wonderful friends (some more like family), special friend Sandy; and her furbabies, LuLu and Phoebe.
Services will be Saturday, September 20 at Handley Funeral Home in Danville at 11 a.m. with visitation starting at 10 a.m. Bro. Mike Allen will be officiating. Burial to follow at Memory Gardens, Low Gap.

Earlier today

Mrs. Diana gave me job at the ripe old age of 16 cleaning her house and in her convenience store. My parents came home off the mission field every 4 years, and we stayed with our grandparents 2 houses over from theirs. I was in class at school with Robby & Sheryl was the cool big sister. My grandma took me to her beauty parlor to get my hair done a time or two. She was always kind, fun and full of life. She will be missed, see you again someday when we are all with the Lord. My condolences to all her family and friends.
