With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Diana, who peacefully departed from this world on February 13, 2024, at the age of 68. She was a cherished wife, devoted mother, beloved grandmother, great grandmother, and dear friend to many.
Born on January 28, 1956, Diana brought boundless joy and warmth into the lives of all who knew her. Her radiant smile and compassionate heart touched countless souls, leaving an indelible mark on the world around her.
Throughout her 50 years of marriage, Diana was the pillar of strength and love for her family. Her unwavering devotion and selflessness were the foundation upon which their lives were built. She epitomized love in its purest form, and her presence brought comfort and solace to those around her.
In addition to her role as a loving wife, Diana was a nurturing mother whose love knew no bounds. She poured her heart and soul into raising her children, imparting wisdom, guidance, and unwavering support every step of the way. Her legacy of kindness, resilience, and unconditional love will forever live on in the hearts of her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She is survived by her husband Herman E Archer Jr., daughters; Velma Rose and Rebecca Meyers, grandchildren; Travis Olinger, Heather Hodge, Madison Alston, Abigail Rose, and Cameron Rose greatgrandchildren; Jackson Olinger and Payton Olinger, Herman Archer Hodge, Mavis Hodge, Abigail Hodge, Sawyer Hodge, Finnegan Hodge, and Laney Hodge. Brothers and sisters, Janie Trevino, Lucy Mata, Daniel Ledesma, Norma García, Bertha Luevano, Tranquilino Gonzales and Vicente Ledesma.
Diana touched the lives of many beyond her family circle. Her kindness, generosity, and genuine compassion left an enduring impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a beacon of light in a sometimes-dark world, offering a helping hand and a listening ear to those in need.
As we mourn the loss of Diana, we take solace in the memories we shared and the profound impact she had on our lives. Though she may no longer be with us in body, her spirit will continue to live on through the countless lives she touched and the love she shared.
A celebration of Diana's life will be held, where friends and family will gather to honor her memory and share stories of her extraordinary life, location and date to be determined. Notification will be sent to all family members and friends as the information becomes available.
May Diana rest in eternal peace, knowing that she fought the good fight and now is the time to rest in the Fathers hands. She was loved beyond measure and will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
