Dianna Jo

Pannell

Dianna Jo Pannell gained her wings on December 18, 2025, at the age of 70, and entered the spirit world with the Almighty God she faithfully served. From the first day she entered this world and beyond, she was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and dear friend.

She lived a cherished life, finding joy in the simple things and raising her children in Sulphur, Oklahoma, where she established family roots meant to last forever. Dianna adored her family deeply and created beautiful memories that shaped her life story and the lives of those she loved.

A devoted wife, loving mother, and forever grateful friend, Dianna will be remembered as a charitable soul who gave love freely. She shared handmade crafts and treasured finds lovingly renewed into keepsakes that will remain with her family.

Authentically herself-firm, fair, and honest, Dianna brought laughter, inside jokes, and unforgettable moments. She would want all to know she "will be fine," reunited with loved ones who passed before her and watching over her family as a guardian angel. There is no goodbye; only "bye for now."

Her legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and through the stories of "Nana" Jo and "Curly." She taught unconditional love—simply I love you. Dianna passed with dignity, guided by the Holy Spirit to her forever home.

May she rest in peace, forever remembered for her wit, laughter, and generous spirit.
