I still think of you my friend. I think about the talks, adventures and all the laughter we shared. You will never be forgotten. Happy Heavenly Birthday.
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Diania Kay Baker/Briggs who was born on October 26, 1959 and passed away on November 26, 2010 from pancreatic cancer. We will remember her forever.
She was born in Iowa city, grew up in Tipton, lived in Marion for many years and moved to Colorado in 2007, when she met David.
She was a nurse and a great one, she loved her work at Rowan in Colorado and all the friends she has there.
She married David Jack Briggs on February 22nd 2010. He passed away from Throat cancer in September 2010.
She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June, moved home to Tipton Iowa on November 16th and passed away on November 26th at 4:55pm with her family around her. We wanted longer with her but are happy that she is at peace and in no more pain. I remember a conversation we had on moms porch, She was scared to die, but was so much more worried about us, about making sure that we would be okay when she left, that we where ready. She always cared so much more for us then herself. That was Diania.
She is survived by her brother Gregory Baker and sister Mary Baker & daughter Mileena Baker and Melissa Smith (Scott Smith). Her mother Carol Baker (Dahl) , her daughter Brandi Reynolds (Brad Reynolds), Grandson Andrew Earl. Her Neices Trisha Baker and Mea Garcia (Jonathan), nephew Earl Baker. Great neice Sophia Garcia and Great Nephew Julian Garcia.

I am very sad for your loss. I lost my Mom 67 days ago on Sept. 8th and miss her so much. Something you wrote in your introduction about you wanting her to live longer but that are glad that she is at peace; and about the conversation you had on your porch - sounds like I am reliving the last few days with my Mom! I don't know if it will ever get easier but I just wanted to share this.

I just wanted to say your memorial is touching. I pray God will continue to strengthen you. I hope, you can also take comfort in Revelation 21:4: "[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more…the former things have passed away.""

Diania would be 52 today. I would have sent her a present by fedex and she would call me. Seems unfair that she doesn't get anymore birthdays.
Love you forever Diania.
Love you forever Diania.

She was by far the greatest frienbd I ever had and will be sorely missed. She was just a great person to know once she came out of her little shell she was such a bubbly lovable person.

Oreos
November 30, 2010
by Mary Baker
Diania always had muchness. She did nothing halfway, even when it came to Oreos. She would lick the insides out, carefully place the empty, spit-filled halves back together, and return the cookies to the package. I believe this began before she even turned 5. I know it is my earliest memory of the Oreo cookie. Diania just went for the most muchness out of everything. How can anyone who was so there be gone? She didn't bother with the burger, she drank the ketchup right from the bottle. And who needed the toast when there was butter that had so much more flavor? And who would want a plain old chocolate cake when they could have a green one with blue frosting?
She made several trips to England. Met and married David after long trips to Colorado. A conversation with Diania was never boring. "Are we gonna have fun now?" summed up her life. I miss Diania more than I ever dreamed possible.

The Broken Chain
November 29, 2010
THE BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew the day that
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but in God we put our trust,
In times as difficult as this,
faith is such a must.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
--Ron Tranmer
