Diana was born on January 10th, 1939, in Gainesville, Florida, and grew up in her beloved town of Cross City.
After being named best all-around her senior year, Diana graduated from Dixie County High School in 1957.
Spurred on by matchmaking efforts of family friends, she married Chris Petropoulos of Flint, Michigan on November 26, 1967. Despite marrying a damn Yankee and living in Michigan for over 55 years, she
remained a Southerner at heart and never lost her accent.
Diana devoted her time to raising her two daughters. She was also very active in her church, teaching Sunday School and presiding over both the Philoptochos Society and Daughters of Penelope numerous
times.
Diana’s favorite role by far, however, was being a Yaya (grandmother) to Zoe. Spoiling Zoe and bragging about her wonderful, smart, beautiful granddaughter were her favorite things to do.
Diana is survived by two daughters and their husbands: Kia and Oystein Hekneby of Livonia, MI, and Lia and Jan Robert Blomgren of San Marcos, CA; one granddaughter, Zoe Hekneby of Livonia, MI and four
sisters: Goldie Mathis of Tarpon Springs, FL; Sylvia Nomicos of Pembroke Pines, FL; Frances Kennedy of Savanah, GA and Toni Henry of Tampa, FL.
