Diana and Joseph "Jojo" Hawatmeh

Diana was born September 4, 1981 to Farid and Mona Sayegh in Las Vegas, and later met and married her soulmate Iehab Hawatmeh. The two settled down in Sandy, Utah where they started their beautiful family, and had three amazing children Layth, Yasmeen, and Joseph.

She received a bachelor’s degree in business at the University of Phoenix and pursued a career as an educator at St. John the Baptist Elementary and Middle Schools and as a fitness instructor at fitness studios across Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. She was an entrepreneur who began her clothing line Nafas Activewear. Her line meant so much more than just clothes. Her biggest motto in life was to “just breathe” and take every moment of life in stride, and she truly lived by that.

Diana was a radiant, selfless, and faithful member of the community. She loved to dance, entertain, and she would do anything for her family and friends whom she loved wholeheartedly and deeply. Her smile and generosity were known to each who had the absolute pleasure of knowing her. She dedicated her life to spreading positivity and joy and did so with such grace, elegance, and beauty.

Diana is survived by her loving husband Iehab, her sweet son Layth, and her fighter Yasmeen.

Joseph Iehab Hawatmeh, age 12, born in Salt Lake City, Utah passed away on November 3, 2020 alongside his mother in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Joseph was born on February 17, 2008 to Diana and Iehab Hawatmeh in Salt Lake City, Utah. He attended St. John the Baptist elementary and middle school.

Jojo was a miracle baby. Born 3 months early, premature, he came into the world a fighter and never let anything hinder his progress. This continued throughout his life whether it was basketball or school. Jojo was so intelligent and was taking high school level courses in the seventh grade. There was nothing he could not do.

Joseph was full of life. He was a devout basketball player and fan, gamer, and big time foodie. Jojo loved spending all his time with his cousins and friends. His giggle was infectious, and he immediately lit up any room he entered with his silly jokes and adorable attitude.

Joseph is survived by his father Iehab, big brother Layth, and big sister Yasmeen.

Diana and Jojo will be unbelievably missed by their families and friends. The mother and son were known to celebrate life and enjoy every moment of it. The two were inseparable, and those who love them find comfort to know their souls rest together.
