She grew up and attended school all over the US as her family moved frequently with the military, before graduating from Provine High School in Jackson, MS in 1968.
Diane married her soulmate, Ed Polk on November 26, 1968, in Jackson, MS. They resided in Jackson and welcomed two children, Paul, and Jennifer. In 1979, they established their home in Enid, OK.
Throughout her career, Diane served as a legal assistant and instructor at Autry Technology Center. Her favorite roles were being a mom, participating in PTA, and being a band mom. Over the years she devoted her time as a Sunday School teacher at Garland Road Baptist Church, a VBS coordinator and worked with the local Multiple Sclerosis Support Group and countless other charities and organizations. Of course, her favorite role was being a grandma. She lit up when talking about her grandson Landen and his achievements in school and golf. People were immediately drawn to Diane’s kind spirit and generous nature. She loved to bake. Her casseroles and pumpkin rolls were well-known throughout the community. Many were fortunate enough to be on her ‘casserole list.’ She truly loved blessing people with her kitchen creations.
