Diana Carroll

In her early twenties she moved to Texas, living first in the Donie area and subsequently in College Station. She resided in Billings, Montana, for the latter part of her life. Diana was a creative homemaker who loved to cook, bake and look after her family. Admired for her fashion sense and style, she also expressed her creativity through her garden, needlework, painting and interior decorating, generously helping family members and friends with their creative projects. Her Christian faith was a comfort and joy throughout her life.

(Kelsey), Cody, Alexandra, Griffin, Kate, Jack and Sam; her sister, Nancy Carroll (Ron) and niece, Nicole Hopper (Chris) of Toronto, Canada, and by her friends. Diana was predeceased by her parents, Frank Carroll and Olive (née Fisher) and her son, John Gonzales.

A Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon,

Where there is doubt, faith,

Where there is despair, hope,

Where there is darkness, light,

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not

so much seek to be consoled, as to console;

To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
