Saltillo- Diane Cullum, 64, left her earthly home for the last time to move to her heavenly home Saturday, October 20, 2018. An angel on earth, who never complained, is going to be missed by all who knew her.
One of ten children, she was born in Marietta, February 22, 1954 to Edward and Nadine Tyra Justice. She had five brothers and four sisters who were all very close. She attended Itawamba Schools until she got married for the first time at a young age.
Diane was a giving soul. Even in her darkest hours, she gave away many pieces of jewelry to some of her friends. She loved the bling of pretty, not necessarily expensive, jewelry. She was a beautiful woman who, through all the treatments, never said "why me" or complained. Diane touched many lives and is going to be missed by everyone. She is at peace and not in pain now.
Diane leaves behind her husband, Donald Cullum; one son, Nathan Cullum and his wife, Jennae; four daughters, Allison Rowan and her husband, Kevin, Twila Smith, Cindy Pierce, and her chosen daughter, Cassidy Cullum of the home; mother, Nadine Justice; sisters, Mary Lou Barnes and her husband, William, Marie Dees and her husband, Ronnie, Glenda Hill and her husband, Wayland and her twin, JoAnn Williams; two very special friends who she thought of as sisters, Gail Hall and Ava Little; three brothers, Lovon Justice and his wife, Irma, Harold Justice and his wife, Judy, and Clarence Justice; three granddaughters, Molly Tiffany Pettigo and her husband, Jason, McKinley Stegall and Autumn Kelly; two grandsons, Rhett Stegall and Austin Davis; three great-granddaughters, Kylie and Adalie Pettigo and Alanah Davis; great-grandson, John Austin Davis; sisters-in-law, Rachel Keith and her husband, Butch, Judy K.
