She was born on January 31, 1945 in Quincy, IL to Raymond Gerald and Mary Alice Sisk Bradley. She married Robert Taylor Martin on December 1, 1973 in Springfield, IL, and he survives.
Dianna was a member of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Quincy, IL. She worked as an LPN at the Barry Community Care Center for several years before returning to further her studies to become an RN. Dianna worked at Memorial Hospital before taking a position at the SIU Clinic in Springfield, IL where she later became the Director of Nursing. In 1998, when she and Robert moved back to Barry, IL, she was the Director of Nursing at Fountain Court Nursing Home in Hannibal, MO. Later she became a school nurse for the Mendon School District where she remained until her retirement in 2010. She was actively serving as an Alderwoman for the city of Barry. Dianna was always out and about and never met a stranger. She was a very accepting, loving, and forgiving person to everyone she knew. She loved her family and had a deep faith in Jesus Christ. She enjoyed flowers, antiquing, and traveling, but her greatest joy was being with her family.
