After living in New Mexico two years, where Raye Lynne was born in Clovis, the family moved back to Enid, Oklahoma. Dianna worked at Biggars Fertilizer and then at KGWA radio station. In 1979 they moved to Beaver, Oklahoma, where she worked at the Drum & Venable law firm. She then spent eight years in her favorite job as secretary at Beaver High School. While secretary for the counselor, Mr. Robert Parr, he told her that he thought she counseled more kids than he did. She always had a soft spot for youth and worked with Baptist your groups as well as others wherever they lived. She had an excellent singing voice and sang solos and in church choirs wherever she lived. When Beaver First Baptist Church was without a music director, she directed the music there for two years. Thank you to the nurses, aides and staff at Greenbrier for excellent care and to Alicia of Hospice Circle of Love for her companionship and love.

Dianna has achieved her lifetime goal of eternity with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She will be missed so much by all.
