Frances Diane Annoot, lovingly known as Diane, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on October 6, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was born on December 4, 1950, in Missouri City, Texas, to Grover Thompson and Ottis Irene Barron.

Diane was a devoted follower of Jesus whose faith guided every part of her life. She loved her family deeply, cherished her church family, and found great joy in fellowship. Whether attending church events, sharing laughter with friends, or meeting her Panera group each morning, Diane's warmth and kindness shone brightly. She never met a stranger and could always find a familiar face wherever she went.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dan Annoot; her parents, Grover and Ottis Barron; and her brothers Harold, Roland, Dennis, Thomas Ray, and Michael.

Diane's beautiful legacy continues through her children: Kevin Archer (Amanda), Kim McKnight (Robert), Brandon Annoot (Taylor Michalak), Ryan Annoot (Jennifer), and Emalee Brown (Jarvis). She was a proud grandmother to Justin Harr; Justin Vangerud (Shelby); Amber Vangerud (Josh Hernandez); Kody Archer (Laura); Tyler Archer; Victoria Archer; Kadence Kiesling; Jace Annoot; Hunter Annoot; Willow Annoot; Abigail Wachira; Ryland Isenberg; Cameron Annoot; Hadley Annoot; and Payton Annoot. Her joy multiplied with her great-grandchildren: Jiraiya Archer, Violet Archer, and Penelope Archer.

She is also survived by her brothers Norman Barron (Patty), Danny Barron (Lisa), and Glenn Barron (Lee); her sisters Barbara Cooper and Sharon San Miguel; and many nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will miss her greatly.

Diane's life was a testament to love, faith, and joy. Her laughter, generosity, and unshakable belief in God will live on in all who knew her.

"Well done, good and faithful servant." – Matthew 25:23
