Born in the Meadows, Nottingham, Diana lived a life full of love, compassion, and an infectious zest for life. Diana was a dedicated nurse who trained in Nottingham, a city she held close to her heart. Her nursing career was spent caring for the community she loved, working in general practice in Sneinton for many years. Many of you may remember Diana as the kind and caring nurse from the Castle Street Practice and the Greenwood and Family Medical Centre. Her warmth, skill, and genuine care for her patients left a lasting impact on all who were fortunate to know her. Beyond her professional life, Diana was known for her wonderful character. She was fun-loving, always ready to bring joy to any gathering with her laughter and vibrant personality. Diana loved to party with her friends, always the life and soul of the event. Yet, no matter how busy her life was, she always made time for people, offering a listening ear, a helping hand, or simply a smile when it was needed most. Diana was a devoted mother to her son, Paul Laycock, and a proud granny to her two beloved grandchildren, Darcy and Ava. Her love for her family was unwavering, and she took great joy in watching Darcy and Ava grow, sharing in their joys and guiding them with her wisdom. Her loss leaves a void in our hearts, but we take comfort in the many wonderful memories she has left us with. A funeral service to celebrate Diana's life will be held at Wilford Hill Crematorium on Friday, September 6th, at 12:00 noon. Following the service, we invite you to join us at the Pint and Poppy Pub in West Bridgford from 13:30 for the wake, where we will share stories, memories, and celebrate the incredible life that Diana lived. Diana's spirit, kindness, and joy for life will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but she will remain in our hearts forever. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made in Diana's memory to a charity close to her heart, which will be shared during the service. May Diana rest in peace, and may her memory continue to inspire and bring joy to all who knew her.
