Diana Denise Randolph

Diana Denise Randolph, 60, of Richmond, Virginia, 3rd child from the union of Trustee Herman Lee Randolph, Sr. and Deacon Queen Esther Randolph entered eternal rest on Tuesday, July 3, 2018. Diana, a graduate of John Marshall High School, class of 1975, pursued her cosmetology license after graduation. She was baptized at an early age at the Greater Brook Road Baptist Church. On July 14, 1975, she gave birth to her only child, Luciana Renee Randolph. Diana then entered the workforce as mail carrier for the United States Postal Services. She then pursued a career at Phillip Morris, USA, where she worked as a machine operator for a number of years. She was a faithful and dedicated employee. After 25+ years of service, she went from active employment to Long Term Disability through her passing. Later in life, Diana pursued music, song writing, and poetry. She was an active musician who released several CDs and music singles. She coined the name "Diamond Tiara" as her stage name. Diana wrote her first book of poems called "Good Fruit for Life", published January 12, 2016, available on Amazon, Kindle, and Barnes and Noble. Diana was a free-spirited person who was passionate about exploring life her own way. She was self-driven, motivated, and courageous as she traveled alone throughout the East Coast in pursuance of her dreams and aspirations. Diana was a giver and she selflessly gave to many. Diana's pastime hobbies included Bingo, dancing, and playing cards with family and friends - in particular, "Mal-Mal". She lived her life to the fullest. Diana was preceded in death by her loving father, Trustee Herman Lee Randolph, Sr., and sister, Joyce Randolph. She was survived by her devoted mother, Deacon Queen Esther Randolph; daughter, Luciana Kelty (Shanot); five granddaughters, TyAsha Randolph, Shakori Randolph, Natori Darby, Daisia Lewis, Tonahs Kelty; two nephews, T. Darnell Jacobs, Antione Allen (Tara); sister, Martha Banks (the late Anthony); two brothers, Herman Lee Randolph, Jr., (Rita), Charles Randolph (Karen); five nieces, Natalie Southwell (Crispin), Tiffany Randolph (William), Felisha Randolph-Mickens (Charles), Jennifer Miller (Duane), Jessica Stewart (Dontae, Sr.); and a host of other great nieces, great nephews, family members, and close friends. As we pay tribute to Diana's life and legacy, we pray that she is resting in Peace. We love you and hope you are singing and dancing with the angels.
