Sarah Diane Huckaby

In loving memory of Sara Diane Smith Huckaby, usually known as "Diane"

She was a very hardworking woman, even in these last few years. She always remained her independent self while always cleaning, cooking, or finding something to do. She stayed busy all the time. Diane loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Diane was also a very blunt person, to know her was to love her, as she spoke her mind whether you liked it or not.

Diane worked at Junior's Restaurant for many years until she retired.
