She was a good friend since grade school. We did many things together and had many laughs together. May God be with her family at this time. She was well loved.
After hearing of Dianna’s passing, I sent this to our St. Anthony’s High School classmates and many responded to me with thoughts you might like to read.
This email bring sad news. One of our classmates has died. Dianna Depke Watkins’s daughter called Janice Mills to let us know of her passing. If you recall, we had received news in the past year that Dianna had moved into a nursing home in Columbia, MO and of late had been wheel-chair bound. Here is the information I found online. This photo the family chose to use reminds me of our dear classmate from the high school years. We were all so lovely then and continue to be these many years later. Nancy (lives in Camdenton, MO)

When I talked to Diana on the phone several years back, she told me that she was feeling old and not too good. Nonetheless, it was good to have a conversation with her. I will send a card for the family. Anne (lives in Illinois)
