Diane Dobbs

Diane Petty Dobbs, 68, lifelong resident of Tupelo, passed away Thursday, December 16, 2021 at the North Mississippi Medical Center. Ms. Dobbs was born July 4, 1953 in Tupelo to the late Horace and Joann Morgan Petty. She retired from the North Mississippi Medical Center after 42 years of service. She enjoyed cooking for her family, Mississippi State sports, but most importantly, spoiling her nieces and nephews.
Every year, starting in November, despite several physical ailments, she would decorate her home and yard for Christmas. It brought her joy for others to enjoy the decorations, often devoting days to making it as perfect as it could be. It brings us, her family, comfort knowing that this Cjhristmas she will spend it with her Savior, whole and fully healed.
Ms. Dobbs is preceded in death by her parents, Horace and Joann Petty
She is survived by her brother, James Petty; niece Lindsey Petty (Daniel); great niece and nephews, Aaden, Savannah, Carson, and Andy; cousins, David Atkins and Sammy Atkins (Nita).

Pallbearers will be Aaden Marsh, Daniel Livingston, David Atkins, Sammy Atkins, Seth Johnson, and Jeff Hall.
