Diane Nickolene Barnidge

I’m very saddened to hear of the loss of Dianne, “Mrs. Barnidge”, and I wish all who experienced her will share their memories of how caring she was in our lives. To my friend T.J. and wife Vicky, I imagine her being such a wonderful grandmother to your children, and yet, despite her long life, loss can still be so difficult. I saw her as a very determined person, being a successful businesswoman in the 1980-90s, at a time when it was against the grain in the business world, yet she succeeded and prospered, being a very inspiring person and role model. Despite her career, she had the greatest dedication to T.J. and his sisters in their high school and college years, taking care of them while always showing her love for her family, and making sure they went on a successful path in life. I have the fondest memories of her and I extended my deepest condolences to her family, and my good friend T.J. She touched so many people, made their lives better and will always live in our memories. Goodbye Mrs. Barnidge, we will all will miss you. Sincerely, Kurt Sailor
