Williams, Dianne Jeaniá
DDianne Jeaniá Williams, 76, peacefully transitioned to her heavenly home surrounded by her family on July 26, 2024. She was born November 18, 1947, in San Francisco, California to Raymond and Anne Larios.
Dianne and her family relocated to Hohenwald, Tennesse when she was 13 where she attended and graduated from LCHS in 1965. A hard worker all her life, she started her career working as a legal secretary right out of high school. She raised her daughter, Meredith, in Lewis County, and then moved to Nashville to begin training as a paralegal.
In a twist of fate, she shifted careers and began taking classes to become a licensed massage therapist. She created a thriving and rewarding career for over 25 years as an LMT. One of her greatest ministries was sharing the Lord’s healing gifts with her clients and friends.
Dianne was a woman of enduring faith. She attended with the congregation at Cornerstone Madison where she taught Life Groups for many years. More recently she attended The Church at Pleasant Grove in Mt. Juliet where she continued to serve the Lord and touch many lives.
Dianne will be remembered by friends and family as one of the most loving, generous, and selfless people who loved the Lord with her whole heart.
Dianne loved spending time with her family and especially her grandchildren. Her favorite holiday was CHRISTMAS–All year long! (To the chagrin of her loving sister, Janet.) She loved the decorations, lights, and most of all — HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIES.
Dianne is predeceased by her parents Raymond (Vickie) Larios and Anne (Ray) Swensen, brother-in-law, Hardie Brooks.
Those left behind to cherish her memory are daughter, Meredith Williams (Eric Lovett), grandchildren, Brooklyn (Dylan) Sipes, Bria Sharp (Dillon Trull), Ryan (Tori) Carroll, great grandchildren, Raelyn Sharp, Emmersynn Sipes, Adalyn Sipes, Steele Carroll, Stiles Carroll, sister, Janet L. Brooks, nephew, Eric King Larios, and several nieces, nephews, and grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
