Dianna D. Harper

     Dianna D. Harper, 42, of Beverly, died on Saturday, July 16, 2022 in Beverly at the home of her mother, Sue Hart. She was born on April 19, 1980 in Marietta, Ohio, daughter of Ted J. and Sue Schilling Hart. She graduated from Fort Frye High School in 1998 and had attended Washington State Community College and had been a Corporate Operations Officer at Globe Metallurgical. She was a member of St. Bernard Catholic Church in Beverly. Dianna loved her family and enjoyed following her children’s sports, especially basketball and volleyball. Dianna was a very understanding person who was always there for her family. Even during the most difficult times she gave her strength by forgiving, loving and sharing her concern and love for her family. Even during her treatments she always tried to be positive and make us laugh. Even though she is gone we know that she can breathe easy and rest in peace that only her Savior can bring. Her legacy of kindness has inspired everyone she knew. We are all grateful for her presence in our life if only for this short time. She was married on August 3, 2001 to David R. Harper who survives.
