Dianne's obituary
Dianne W. Vaiden - beloved sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully on October 18th, 2024 in Bolivar, TN at the age of 73. She is preceded in death by father Allison Weaver, mother Josie Wakefield, and brother Lynn Weaver. She is survived by sister Sherry (Glenn) Leath, daughters: Melissa (Dell) Hopper, Jaime (Russell) Howard, and Amanda (Marco) Vaiden-White. She also leaves behind her 7 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
Born Alice Dianne Weaver on March 19th, 1951, Dianne grew up in Memphis, TN. Over the years Dianne made her home in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas. However, the Ozarks always held a special place in her heart. Wherever she resided, she made her home into a place of love with a good home-cooked meal for family and a shared laugh. She could often be found reading a good book or watching a sci-fi movie.
Dianne never sought fame, fortune, or praise, but instead poured herself into caring for her family. She was known for working hard to provide, always rolling with the punches, and for her humble giving heart. As her final act, Dianne chose to give the parting gift of donating her body for research in order to help others.
She will be deeply missed by her loved ones. A memorial service will be held at First Baptist Church of Pocahontas in Pocahontas, TN on November 27th at 11:00 am.
