Diane was a cowgirl at heart and loved all things western. Her favorite places to visit were Wapiti Valley, Wyoming, Yellowstone, and Colorado. She was an amazing line dancer and could strut her stuff with the best of them. She laughed, loved, and lived life to the fullest. Above all else, Diane loved her family. Her boys and their children were the world to her. People say that you live together, but die alone. That is not true. The ones who love you on this side of life hand you through to the ones who love you on the other. Funeral services for Diane M. Holley will be Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 9:15am from the Fred C.
