I am so sorry for your loss. Diana was an amazing woman, and will always be one of my favorites. We laughed so hard house hunting, and she was so thrilled with her home, she touched my heart.

I am so blessed to have Trish as my sister-in-law and best friend. Through Trish, I was fortunate to spend time with Diana over the years and enjoyed every moment with her. I can honestly say that Diana affected my life by making me a better person for having known her.
All my love to her family.

Diana was a wonderful friend and will be missed by all of us. She loved her family and spoke of her love for her daughters and grandchildren. She loved being a part of their lives as we loved being a part of hers. Love you and we will miss you, friend at bunco and at quilting. Sheryl

I remember meeting Ms. Mcclellan when I was in JR. Highschool. I had gone home from school with Trish and her mother greeted me with a smile and kindness. From then on, I knew Trish's mom was a wonderful person. My prayers go out to you and your family.

The obit clearly states it correctly. I was part of her quilt group & will forever remember her for not just her talent, but her kindness and for always looking at the positive side of whatever our discussions entailed. I know that she'll be looking down at us every 1St Fri & 3rd Sat of the month
