Diana H. Woods

Diana was born July 20th, 1953, to William Melvin and Sarah Eliza Harrell. She was the middle child of 5 siblings, Yvonne, William (Sharon), Kelvin and Denise (Kevin) She graduated in 1971 from Cradock High School. Diana retired from QVC, Inc. after almost 30 years of employment, in 2017. Diana symbolized her life to Jehovah God on September 2nd, 1972. For the next 50 years, the most important thing to her was teaching her children and others about Jehovah's Kingdom. Diana had a solid belief in Jehovah's promise of the resurrection and everlasting life on a paradise earth. (John 5:28, 29) In 1975 Michael L. Woods married the love of his life, Diana. From this beautiful union came three beautiful children, Jonathan LeSean, Danielle LeVette and Erin LaChelle, who each followed her amazing spiritual example by all serving as full time ministers. Due to her loving and infectious spirit, she drew countless children, nieces and nephews. Her bear hugs, beautiful smile and uplifting words are why many referred to her as Mama Woods or Aunt Di. Because of this personal touch, if any of her many children, nieces, or nephews needed anything, she always made sure to lend a helping hand and give an encouraging word. She was well known to extend hospitality to friends in need; whether it was an invite to Sunday dinner or a home to live in. Diana's character as a wife, mother, sister, friend, aunt and daughter has been described as the following: A true friend you can count on and a pursuer of peace. Her complete trust and confidence in Jehovah was always evident, which is why we will always love and miss Diana. John 16:22 says, "So you also, now have grief; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." Acknowledgements Words will never be able to express how much we truly appreciate each and every one of you for your prayers, kind words and presence. We would like to give a special thank you to her best friend, travel partner and pioneer partner Gwendolyn Bray, the staff at Fresenius, especially her nurses, Brittany, Kim and Barbara. We would also like to thank the staff at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, including all the doctors, nurses, care partners, dieticians and many more. And to everyone, thank you for loving our wife and mother.
