Diana Lynn Russell

Diana Lynn Russell, 60, left us on July 4, 2019, with her family by her side. Diana was born on March 1, 1959, in Santa Ana, California to Hugh and Lannee Barden. She had 4 children and 6 grandchildren. Growing up and throughout her adulthood, she loved going to the beach. She loved to draw and make porcelain dolls. She also loved to sing, even if it was off key. She saw the beauty in everything. As a caregiver for years, she touched the hearts of many people. Her residents loved the way she made them smile. She will be remembered for her spontaneity and her love of people. Diana is survived by her mother, Lannee; sisters, Judy (John), Elaine, and Kathryn; brother, Hugh; children, Josh (April), Jessica (John), and Emily; and grandchildren Julia, Jack, Brynlee, Parker, Mathew, and Samuel.
