Diana Lynn Larimore, a beloved resident of Green River, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the age of 77. Born on May 31, 1949, in Missouri, she was the cherished daughter of the late Claude Homer Downard and Lela Paralee Huff.
Diana led a fulfilling life centered around family, creativity, and cats.
Diana married Frank Ferlic in 1972, they had two children and later divorced in 1982. Later she married the love of her life, Donald Douglas Larimore, on November 11, 1983, in Green River. Together, they built a life filled with love and shared adventures until Doug’s passing.
Diana was a dedicated hairdresser for 40 years, a profession she pursued after initial work in banking and her subsequent graduation from cosmetology school. Her passion for helping others feel beautiful brought joy to many in her community, often accompanied by her warm smile and kind words.
An alma mater of Potosi High School, Class of 1967, Diana treasured her Missouri roots while embracing her life in Wyoming. She had an immense love for cats, enjoyed tending to her garden, and adored arts and crafts, with a particular fondness for creating earrings, ornaments, and blankets. Movie nights with friends and time spent with her children and grandchildren were among her greatest joys.
