On August 12, 2021, Diana Lynn Krieg received her well-earned, heavenly angel wings, surrounded by multiple loving and adoring family members. She was taken much too soon at the young age of 63 by a disease many know all too well — Dementia and Parkinson's. Diana was undoubtedly greeted with open arms by her parents, Gerald and Laura "Mickey" Stout.

One of Diana's greatest attributes was her beautiful, broad, and stunning smile, which would leave her blue eyes dazzling. She had a smile that would light up any room and heart. Thankfully, she not only passed this trait on to her two daughters, Staci Birney and Amy Frederick, but managed to sprinkle the same down to her six beloved grandchildren.

Diana was known for her ability to make a beautiful, warm, and inviting home. She did so by never sitting still! Diana was always doing, moving, and shaking. Any task she started was done diligently and exceedingly, which was much appreciated during her working years by her fellow co-workers at Dental Center P.A. and Southwind Oral and Facial Surgery and Implant Center.

To say Diana was an angel on Earth would not be an overstatement, as not only her husband and daughters would attest to, but her three siblings, David Stout, Pamala Hulse, and Brenda Chastain, would enthusiastically reiterate. Diana had a flare for the fun, the thrills, and all things nature. It goes without saying (for those that knew Diana) that she had a genuine love for music and Rock & Roll. Turn on the music and watch her fingers start snapping, shoulders start swaying, and ultimately, she'd be found in a kitchen, living room, or even bathroom, with her happy feet set in motion to the beat of her favorite tunes.

Diana was blessed to have experienced true love with her one and only forever, Ron Krieg. Take a page out of your favorite love story and you will know their life and love together. At the young age of 14, she began an 18-month courtship that thrived for the next 47 years.

Diana lived a life that showed her love for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a 1 Corinthians 13 woman who will be desperately missed and whose memory will forever be cherished by those fortunate enough to have known her.
