DIANA CRITTENDEN
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Diana Dann Crittenden. Diana was born on June 21, 1937, in Littlefield, Texas, to Dan and Lida Mae Cotham. She married the love of her life, Billy Eugene Crittenden, on July 12, 1956. Together they shared 59 years and built a life rooted in hard work, love and family.
She was a dedicated homemaker and bookkeeper for the family business, Tractor Service Center, in Levelland, Texas, and TSC Storage in Lubbock, Texas. Diana took great pride in both her work and her home, but her greatest accomplishment was raising her children. She lovingly raised three children: Butch Crittenden (Peggy) of Lubbock; Donya D'Ann Demel (Kevin) who preceded her in death in 2014; and Lyda Magee (Jeff) of Lubbock and McCall, Idaho. She was a proud grandmother to Eric Crittenden of Albuquerque, Bryce Crittenden of Lubbock, and Danci Demel (Derek) of Odessa. She was also blessed with two greatgrandchildren, Aimee Crittenden of Lubbock and Braeden Crittenden of Albuquerque. She is further survived by her sister, Dee Wallace of Lubbock.
She was preceded in death by her parents; eight sisters; one brother; her beloved husband, Billy Eugene Crittenden; and daughter, Donya D'Ann Demel. Diana will be remembered for her fun loving spirit, generous heart and unwavering love for her family.
A visitation and Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
