We share with a very, very heavy heart the passing of our Mother, Nana, Relative and Friend, Diane Messick, in the early hours of Jan. 8, 2025 after a very courageous battle with cancer.
She was preceded by: her parents, Ruth and Homer Windsor; her husband of 53 years, Dale Messick; and her brother, Richard Windsor.
Those left to cherish her memory are: her eldest son, Kevin Messick, wife, Laura Messick and their children, Holly Messick and Jack Messick; younger son, Tom Messick and his children, Spencer Messick and Grayson Messick; her sister, Linda Pepper; and a very dear friend, Wayne Smith, as well as many other special relatives and friends that are too many to mention.
Diane spent most of her life in Winston-Salem and Bermuda Run with a short stint in Coolemee during her childhood. She was a graduate of Southwest High School in Clemmons. She spent many hours in bridge clubs and garden clubs throughout her life. She loved going to the mountains and to the beach and spending time with her family. She was a kind and wonderful person who will be missed by many.
We will honor her life with a celebration of life on her birthday March 15 at 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 501 W. Fifth St., Winston-Salem, NC 27101, followed by a visitation after the ceremony at the church.
In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to First Baptist Church, 501 W. Fifth St., Winston-Salem, NC 27101 in honor of Diane.
