Diane Helen Kennedy

Diane H. Kennedy, age 71, of Dallas, GA, passed away on Wednesday, June 11, 2026, in Marietta, GA. Born on June 22, 1954, in Rochester, NY, Diane was the daughter of the late Frederick and Marjorie Wood.

Diane dedicated over 26 years of her life to serving the children and families of the Paulding County Schools, where she worked in the food services department. Her commitment to nourishing young minds extended beyond her work; she truly cherished the moments shared with family and friends. Diane loved walking in nature and found immense joy in her role as a grandmother. Her grandchildren-Chloe, Nash, Nicholas, Ryder, and Scarlett-affectionately remember her unwavering support and love, which she offered freely and abundantly.

She is survived by her three beloved sons, Fred (Morgan), Shawn (Ila), and Chris Kennedy, and her cherished sister, Barbara Quinones. Diane's kind heart and nurturing nature will always be remembered by those fortunate enough to know her.

In addition to her parents, Diane was preceded in death by her son, Raymond Kennedy, and her daughter, Ashley Kennedy.

In accordance with Diane's wishes, she was cremated, and no service will be held at this time. For those who would like to share memories or leave a kind word for the family, you may do so at www.samclarkfuneralhome.com
