Diana Lynn Wood

On Sunday, October 3, 2021, Diana Lynn Wood answered the Lord’s call and entered into Heaven, passing away peacefully at her home with her husband and fur baby at her side. She now resides in the Lord's Kingdom, free of sickness and pain. She is now rejoicing in His love. Born October 23, 1961, Diana was a resident of Fairfax County for most of her life. She attended Annandale High School and Northern Virginia Community College, earning her degree in Medical Records Technology. She worked at Inova Fairfax Hospital and Fredericksburg’s Mary Washington Hospital before sickness made this no longer possible. Diana was a former member of the Lake of The Woods Volunteer Rescue Squad in Orange County, Virginia. She gave time to the community as a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician and ambulance driver. Diana was a strong animal advocate, caring for many of God’s creatures throughout her life. As sickness became a stronger influence, she focused attention from home on supporting many animal rescue organizations and offering care to sick wildlife. Diana was truly an animal lover, regardless of species. Her faith was the single most important matter in her life. Through Diana’s life, she was a humble servant to our Creator, serving as a positive example of how Jesus lived. When sickness took a toll on her physical being, she drew upon her relationship with Him for strength and direction, never losing focus on what being a Believer means. Married August 20, 1985, Diana was the spouse and life partner to her husband for 36 years. At the time of her passing, she was the caring mother to her cherished fur baby, Maggie.
