Dianne was born on January 17, 1948 in Ocilla, Georgia to the late Charles E. Baker and Myrtice Pope Baker. She married the love of her life Kenneth in 1965 and together they built a wonderful life. Dianne was a faithful member of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church since 1969. She was the epitome of a caretaker and had a special love for children, she worked at several daycares throughout her life loving and caring for each child as if they were her own, she was truly a Momma to everyone she met. Dianne had a servant's heart, she would give anyone anything they needed and was generous beyond measure. Dianne was by far her happiest when she was with her family, she loved them with everything she had, she found humor in every situation even the worst ones, and you would always leave laughing after talking with her. When she wasn't giving her husband Kenneth a hard time, or volunteering him to help someone, they enjoyed dancing and danced every Friday night.
