Diana Mann

Diana was born on May 17th, 1950 to the late J.D. and Veda Ford in Brownsville, Tx.  She was a Kermit Yellow jacket and graduated in 1969. Diana was a Wickett resident since 1975. She was a God loving, hard working mother of 4 kids, but many called her “mother”. Her house was always open and available to anyone who needed it.  She met her soul mate Arthur Mann and they were married on September 5th, 1990. They were blessed to have 29 years together and will be reunited one day.  She had many different jobs throughout life but loved her career as a juvenile corrections officer for the West Texas State School. She retired after 19 years. The rest of her years were spent enjoying life and family.

Diana is survived by her husband Arthur Mann of Wickett, Tx. Two brothers Jimmy Ford and his wife Mildred of Lubbock, Tx and Bobbie Dowling of California. Her four children Deana Taylor of Temple, TX, Lee and Tanya Taylor of Ft. Worth, TX, Michael and Amanda Taylor of Pyote, Tx, and Christal Taylor (Crissy) of Monahans, TX.  Two Stepdaughters Jennifer and Barbara Mann both of Monahans.  16 grandkids and 10 great-grandkids and her beloved fur-baby LUCY.

Diana was preceded in death by her grandparents, her parents JD and Veda Ford and her brother Gerald Ford.
