Diana-Lynn-Edwards

On Friday, February 10, 2023 a beautiful wife, mother of two children and Nana of three grandchildren, Diana Lynn Edwards, age 63, of Goodlettsville, went home to be with the Lord.

Diana L. (Diane) Edwards (Nana) that she was so lovingly called by the ones that loved her the most, was born June 30, 1959 in Chicago, IL to the late John Logan (J.L.) and Ernestine Payne Smithson.

She graduated from Hendersonville High school in 1977 and at the age of 57, she went back to school and earned two Bachelor’s degrees, finishing at the top of her class. Diana worked as a childcare provider for more than 30 years. She was of the Baptist faith and a proud member of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Millersville. One of her many proud moments was to witness all of her children saved and Baptized in the house of the Lord. Diana loved to cook, bake cakes, travel, and just spend time with her kids, and she also loved animals.

Diana is survived by her husband of 45 years, Dennis James Edwards: children, April (Chance) Nelson and Chris (Robin) Edwards; grandchildren, Dalton Edwards, Hailey Edwards and Analyn Nelson; and she was God Nana of Peyton Logan. She had three sisters and a loving Brother Wayne Smithson (Kelly) Smithson.

Funeral services will be conducted at 11 am Tuesday in the chapel of Austin & Bell Funeral Home in Greenbrier with Pastor Nelson Garrett officiating. Burial will follow in Mayes Cemetery with Chris Edwards, Dalton Edwards, Chance Nelson, Robert Edwards, Matt Fru and Wayne Smithson serving as pallbearers.
