Dianne was a proud member of the Badoura Daughters of the Nile Pageantry and the Eastern Star. She cherished traveling with her friends from the Nile and especially treasured her time as Queen Pixie, a role that brought her immense joy. She had a special love for butterflies, especially the Monarch butterfly, which beautifully symbolizes the grace, strength, and enduring place she holds within her family.

Dianne was known for her gentle, soothing voice—a voice that brought comfort to so many and one that will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved her. She was a friend to all, welcoming others with warmth, kindness, and compassion. Dianne VanEtta will be remembered with love, cherished always by her family and all whose lives she touched.
