Jeffries, 80, of Marion, passed away at 3:10 a.m. on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in Marion. She was born in Marion, Indiana, on July 3, 1945, to Harold and Thelma (Carroll) Hileman. On a day that became one of her life\u2019s happiest, she married David L. Jeffries, who preceded her in death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dianna was a proud graduate of Mississinewa High School. She worked for many years at General Electronics in Upland as a crew leader, dedicating herself to her work and retiring after a long and steady career. She found joy in the simple things that made home feel like home-quilting, crocheting, and working through puzzle books. She loved collecting pigs, roosters, and baby dolls, each one bringing her a little spark of happiness. Cowboy shows, Bob Ross, the Gaithers, and Family Feud were her favorite comforts, perfectly suited to her warm, easygoing spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is survived by her children, Harold (Teala) Hileman II of Gas City, Jason Jeffries of Marion, and Tracy Carmine of Middletown. She leaves behind many grandchildren-Josie Kellams, Latisha Hileman, Tony Kellems, TJ Miller, Michelle Cottrell, Cody Miller, Bethany Bardonner, Lameck Gadd, Collin Hoskins, and Angelique Carmine; along with 20 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. She is also survived by her sister, Lyndal Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, David L. Jeffries; and her sisters, Phyllis Beaty, Jackie D. Mathias, and Chris Nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Dianna\u2019s request, there will be no public visitation or funeral service. Family will hold a memorial service to celebrate Dianna&#8217;s life at 4:00 pm on Friday, March 6, 2026 at Marion Church of the Brethren 2302 S. Geneva Ave. with Pastor Kay Theel officiating. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrangements have been entrusted to Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral &amp; Cremation Service, Storey Chapel, 400 E.
