Diana Richardson Groves was born March 20, 1940 and passed August 13, 2020. She was a loving and generous woman who made people feel good about themselves. She always faced hardship with courage and faith. And she was blessed with many close friendships and a family who adored her. At the end, she was in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by her three children. Her positive, sparkling spirit is her lasting gift to all who had the joy of knowing her.
