Diana was born December 20, 1942, in Mt. Pleasant, the daughter of Oscar and Irma (Fish) Opdycke. She graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School, and soon after married William “Bill” L. Carney on November 2, 1963. Bill preceded her in death in 1992. Following Bill’s death, Diana worked for 25 years as a CSM for the Mt. Pleasant Walmart. She loved nothing more than spoiling her grandkids. Diana had a great sense of humor and was always up for a good prank. She will be remembered as selfless and generous, always putting everyone else’s needs above herself.
Diana is survived by her daughter Kerri (Don) Speerstra, Jr.; son Doug (Dee) Carney; granddaughters Jessica (David) Kinch, Katie Speerstra, all of Mt. Pleasant; brother Dan (Roxanne) Opdycke of Mt. Pleasant; and sister Dixie Carson of Alma.
Diana was preceded in death by her parents, and brother Jim Waters.
