Regina Diane Glover was the Christmas miracle of Rex Mitchell and Lawanda Box (Knipe), born December 25, 1950 in Fort Worth, Texas. She passed away and received her eternal reward on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.
The family eventually moved to Blue, Okla., where she grew up and attended school. After graduating, Diane began her life long career in customer service. Whether delivering paint for Olly’s Car Colors, making the best banana split you ever had at Braum’s, taking an order at a table, or ringing up a sale at the convenience store, she always had a friendly smile and hello for her customer.
Diane married her soul mate, Troy Glover, on December 26, 1978. They lived most of their married lives raising their children in Durant, Oklahoma. She loved being a Wife, and a Mom to her children. She adored being NeeNee to all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Diane’s hobbies included reading, solving word puzzles (especially crosswords), coloring, cooking for her friends and loved ones, and taking care of animals of all kinds, big or small.
