(From Paul Thomas Funeral Home)Delores “Diane” Harrison, age 56, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020 at Freeman Hospital in Joplin, Missouri from injuries she sustained in a fall.
Diane was a loving daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She had a love for life and remained positive until the end, while enduring more than one should in their lifetime. She had such a strong faith in God and leaned on him for strength. She will be remembered for her kind spirit, infectious smile, trips to Walmart and most of all, the love she had for her family.
Diane was born on Jan.28, 1964 in Miami, Oklahoma to Floyd Harrison and Mary (Miller). She lost her father when she was 3 months old. Her mom later married Hershal W. Allman who raised her as his own.
