Bobby, Tyler, Holden, Mrs. Ruby and the rest of the family,
We are sadden to learn of Diane’s passing. She was one of a kind. Her laughter was contagious and she would light up a room when she entered. I will never forget her coaching my daughter in softball and the impact she maid on my daughter. My daughter was nervous and scared but with the help of Diane she overcame that. She was a huge supporter for her WA sports team and county Rec. Ball will never be the same without her. She will be missed greatly in Williamsburg County.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time.
Diane was a joy to be around. Anyone who knew her could see she loved her family and her community. She was involved in WA and the Rec coaching. She cared about everyone and always had a smile on her face. She loved Bobby, Tyler and Holdon and her Mom, Ruby Tyler. She enjoyed Holdon’s graduation activities and preparing for his college days. Diane will be missed in
Williamsburg County and in our family.
Our hearts are truly saddened by the loss of Mrs. Diane. She was a second mom to our boys, a dear friend., an awesome coach, and an all around great person. Mrs. Diane will be truly missed, but always loved by the Carraway family. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers,
Pedro, Kimberly, JaCorie, Forrester, Ethan, and Princeton
Prayers for all of you and praying for comfort in coming days

I will forever remember Dianne as the little girl of our neighborhood, who was never without a smile or giggle. She was like a little sister to me and others in our community.
Losing her is like losing a part of my childhood. She chose to be a major part of the Kingstree community and youth athletics, and her contributions will be remembered by many.
She was a bright light extinguished far too soon. Prayers for her, Ms. Ruby, Bobby, Tyler, and Holden. Always remember the great and fearless woman she was.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Daughter,Wife and Mother.
“Mrs D” became apart of my life a little over a year ago at Waccamaw Mental Health. God placed an angel right in Erica and I’s path. She mentored me at work as a Pediatric Psychiatric Nurse, lead me and Erica through our first year at Rec softball and Williamsburg Academy!
This fall I start a new journey as a proud member of the WA team and family.
She will forever be in my heart and daily journey to keep making her proud!
Godspeed “Mrs. D” until we meet again!
Sherry and Erica Mize.
Diane was a great person, student, athlete, and mother/wife, and leader in the community. My interactions with her over the years were always impressive because she was frank and sincere.
We have lost a great one but Heaven has gained another great person with Diane’s homecoming!
Mt deepest sympathy.
Mrs. Diane was full of love, compassion, laughter and joy. She will truly be missed by the softball community. God’s blessing to her family.
My heart goes out to Ruby, Al and the rest of the family. Parents never expect to outlive their children and it is very hard when they don’t. God bless the grieving ones .

I have no words. Diane was my big sister. God knows how much I loved her. Whether it was carpooling to school, vacationing in the RV, going to the beach Diane was always there for me when I was growing up.
She got me in trouble yet many times got me out of trouble…lol. A piece of my heart is gone forever. I love y’all. As hard as this is going to be, Tomorrow, we celebrate her life, and the legacy she leaves behind.
Shane Cantley
Ruby and all of the family,
We don’t question why these
things happen, but we surely
don’t understand them.
We realize God has a purpose
and a plan when we come into
the world. His plan is a perfect
one.
We know how much we love our
loved ones, however God loves us, His children, even more.
Diane touched numerous lives
in numerous ways and will not
be forgotten. One thing for sure. She was her Mom’s lifeline.
A wonderful mom to her boys and wife to Bobby.
Everyone loved Diane and she was a special friend to so many.
Her influence will live on. ♥️
Bobby, Tyler, Holden, Josh & Tammy:
I pray that the Lord wraps his arms of comfort around each of you during this time and the time to come. I know that you All have memories that will last a lifetime. I hope that the Love of everyone during this time helps you when you remember what an Awesome woman that she was.
Diane, I will miss your love horn toot and wave in the evening as you pass our home. Working with you for many years made coming to work fun. Thank God for blessing us with your presence here on earth. Love Isaac & Martha Scott.
This is part of an Irish Toast which I think describes what Diane was .”There are good ships, but the best ships are friend ships and may they always be” . Her friends, and those she touched in small way will always remember and follow her example.
Although I have not seen Diane in a long time. I have fond memories of her from high school.
I can tell from her posts on FB she loved her family dearly and I will also remember her laughter and smile.
Prayers of healing and comfort to all her family and friends
Ruby and Family Sympathy with Diane getting her Angel Wings. She was a great young lady Sending my love and prayers Carole
