Her legacy will be carried on by all of the lives she has touched through her years. Think of her every time you use the “I love you” hand sign. Dianne’s lifelong talent for nurturing children began in her teenage years, when she babysat for 50 cents an hour. She loved taking care of John & Lora when their parents were out of town. As an adult she taught 2nd and 3rd graders at East Elementary and Benton Heights Elementary school. Her dedication was recognized in the 2005-2006 school year when she was awarded teacher of the year at Benton Heights Elementary School. Involved in the scouting community, she was a cub scout leader and girl scout leader for many troops. Leading the last year Michael was in cub scouts and had a lifetime membership with the girl scouts. She won honor awards from the Hornets’ Nest Council. Planned and directed camporees for 18 years. She worked with John Mark Carter and his students. Girls who came were from troops in Union 2 and Wadesboro. Unit caps for Walter Bickett Education Center for 4 years – East Elementary (4-pre-school & 2 K classes). Whether she was teaching Sunday school, volunteering for VBS, her involvement with the Red Cross clown group or sewing caps for the Black Mountain Orphanage after Hurricane Helene, Dianne’s life was a testament to her unwavering love for the next generation.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorials be made to Oakland Baptist Church, 600 E. Sunset Drive, Monroe, NC 28112.
