Diana Lynn Ramsey was born December 4, 1953 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Clifford and Lois Hyska. Diana, her sister, Maria, and her parents moved to Tucson and lived on the east side of town. Diana graduated from Santa Rita High School and began her career in jewelry sales. She met her husband, James Ramsey, a military soldier stationed at Davis Monthan AFB. After a few years of dating they were married at a friend’s home in Tucson. They had their first child, James Ramsey III, and soon after Diana started her career as a stay at home mom. With a newborn in hand, the military transferred the family from Tucson to bases that included New Mexico, Ohio and back to New Mexico. Here is where their second child, Jason, was born. After military retirement, the family came back to Arizona to live in Gilbert, AZ and created many wonderful memories together. Later, another job transfer to Florida, they once again returned to Gilbert, AZ. Diana loved shopping, merchandise sales, entertaining and Christmas. Her final move brought her back to Tucson, in Oro Valley, AZ.
Diana is survived by her loving spouse, James Ramsey; her two sons, James and spouse Whitney Ramsey, and Jason and spouse Nicole Ramsey; seven grandchildren; and her sister Maria (Hyska) Floyd. She was preceded in death by her father, Clifford; her mother, Lois; and her step father, Drue Wilson.
