Sova, Margaret "Diane" 1948-2011 Born in Lodi CA on February 17th 1948, Diane Sova took her last breath in the embrace of her family June 29, 2011. Diane was the love of George for 43 years and will always be his "sweet baby girl". Her twin daughters Kim Wyman and Kasi Mayer, son in law Jason, her grand children Jordan and Jared Mayer, Ned and Kiri Bardsley, brother Dennis Bietz and all her extended family, will hold her forever in their hearts. Her legacy will be reflected in the world through her families eyes, beautiful smiles, musical talents, and shared laughter of family meals with favorite recipes. Diane ministered along the side of her husband Pastor George Sova for 34 years. Her arms reached around a large church family that included churches in Safford AZ, Rochester MN, Richland WA, and in her final home at the Oasis & Emmett Seventh-Day Adventist Churches. Her passion included Nursing which was a career she cherished. Her sweet singing voice, her smile and her shining blue eyes and courageous spirit will never be forgotten. She lived her life loving her Savior Jesus and the many friends and family that surrounded her. Throughout her illness that she recognized how much she was loved with the abundant support and help that has been extended to her and her family from a loving community of friends. Our family will forever be grateful. We would like to also thank the St. Luke's Hospice team and the staff of St. Alphonses medical group in Eagle who took such good care of her through the end of her illness.
