I worked with Diane for 14 years at Walmart. She approached life and her job with an amazing degree of optimism that infected all those around her. Both as a fellow associate and later as my boss she was the person you could rely on. She loved her job and no matter how challenging the situation she had a solution. Diane had this unbridled laugh that led many of us to affectionately call her call her “chuckles”. Whenever we called her that, she would smile and, you guessed it, issue more “chuckles”. Her uplifting and generous spirit has touched us all. God bless you Diane and God Bless us all for having known you!
I want to say how sorry I am to her family for her passing. I met her while working at Wal~Mart and I have to say that I have never met a nicer person in my life. She was always smiling or laughing and treated everyone equally no matter if they were a friend or not. I will miss her very much.
Diane was my past co-worker and my friend at WalMart. Everytime I came into Buckhannon and go in WalMart I always looks for her and she always hugged me. I will eternally miss her.
My heart goes out to my old friend Jeff at the loss of his lovely wife. May God bless and keep her safe
