Diane Christine Cox

Diane Cox, our loving and beautiful daughter, passed away November 1, 2022, after a long illness. She was born August 14, 1969, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she grew up and graduated from Manzano High School. She worked in healthcare and rehabilitation for 27 years before retiring in 2019.

She was a music and movie enthusiast with an extensive library and knowledge, ZZ Top remaining at the top of her list. She loved her blue jeans, burgers, and the Cowboys. She definitely was one of the "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," best known for her beautiful smile and thumbs up. She loved family. She loved life. She lived with courage and optimism. Her kindness and loving presence will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.
