An amazing mother, Dianita's warmth and generosity touched countless lives. She was known for her cheerful spirit and her favorite phrase, “I love you and there’s nothing you can do about it,” which she shared liberally with those she cherished.

Additionally, her friendships were of great importance; Her best friends 1967 Patty Mason and family, and Her best friend (sister friend) Debbie Thomas Fraley and family.

Dianita was not only a source of love and support for her family but also a consistent presence in her community, always ready to lend a hand or provide a ride whenever needed. Her love for life was reflected in her interests; she enjoyed dancing, singing, and celebrating with friends and family, creating lasting memories in the process.

Dianita was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert Wilson, who passed away in 2018. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of many, yet the impact of her kindness and the joy she brought to life will forever remain cherished.
