Diana Harris

Diana Lynn Peacock-Harris fell asleep in death on January 31, 2021. She was born October 17, 1949, in Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Denver, Colorado.

She is survived by her husband of 20 years, Wayne Herman Harris; four siblings, Thomas Jay Roberts (Robbie), Phillip LeRoy Roberts and wife Carol, Guy McDowell Roberts and wife Darlene, and Cheryl Dean Hartnett; five children and eleven grandchildren, whom she loved fiercely, son, Robert Franklin Peacock and wife Katie, children Adrian, Anna and Hayden; daughter, Allison Lee Peacock-Albano and husband Salvatore, children Bijou and Luca; daughter, Jacquelyn Jenny Peacock-Puett, children Sydney and Jacob; Daughter Stephanie Leigh Harris; daughter, Jennifer Evelyn Condiff-Burt and husband Frankie, children Blake, Evan, Brooklyn and Morgan; numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Thomas Jasper Roberts and Alice Lucille Skufca-Roberts.

She was the daughter of an Air Force Senior Master Sergeant, which led to living various places as a young girl, including England, but she finally settled to Panama City, Florida in 1956, living there 45 years. Adventures and family led her to Colorado Springs, Colorado from 2001 to 2008, ultimately living the remainder of her life in Long Beach, Mississippi. She considered Bay County, Panama City, Florida her home despite all the places she lived. She was a Department Store Manager for Dillards (formerly Gayfers) for eighteen years. Upon retirement, she joined her husband, Wayne Harris, in his wood carving and art gallery business, Bears of Manitou, in downtown Manitou Springs, Colorado. She loved her inspirational walks on the beach and fishing off the jetties at St. Andrews State Park. She thoroughly enjoyed gardening and always marveled at Jehovah’s creation. She had a contagious smile and was a loyal friend, known for her gentle, kind manner. In her later years, she obtained her Master Gardeners Certification with a passion for growing herbs and vegetables, as well as baking artisanal breads, selling them at the local Farmers Markets in Mississippi. Above all, she was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and enjoyed in-depth study of God’s Word the Bible. She truly lived for the day when “no resident will say: I am sick,” as promised in the Bible at Isaiah 33:24. Her sure hope was in seeing the earth restored to the Paradise it’s intended to be - Revelation 21:3,4 and Psalm 37:29.
