Dyann served as a social worker for 25 years and was a member at Thruston United Methodist Church. She was a great cook, her specialty being cupcakes. She and her sisters baked and decorated all of the family wedding cakes. Dyann had a love for softball, she played until she was 55 and coached for many years. She was a natural born caretaker; caring for her family by being the best mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt they could imagine. Dyann's favorite title was "Mamaw Lashbrook," which she was given by her beloved grandchildren. She loved watching her grandchildren's ballgames especially. Dyann will be remembered for always being able to put a smile on someone's face with her fun-loving nature and will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
