Diana L. Chrestman Obituary (1957 - 2022)

Diana Lynn Chrestman, 65, of Pontiac, IL, passed away peacefully at her daughter's home on November 10th, 2022 at 4:48pm, surrounded by loved ones. Diana is the daughter of Cecil and Pat Brown. Born on August 3, 1957. Married to Bobby Chrestman on June 29th, 1997. They shared their home in Pontiac, IL. Diana was predeceased by her father, mother, one grandchild Will Penley and one brother, John Brown. She is survived by husband Bobby Chrestman; Daughter, Tracy Lynn Richardson (Pontiac,IL); Son, Louis Wayne Penley (Cincinnati,OH); and Grandchildren, (Tracy) Jasmine Lynn, Faith Lynn, Hope Lynn, (Louis) Peyton, and Lincoln. Diana was a beloved wife, mom and grandma. She was often referred to as "The Queen of Sass" and has certainly passed that title down to the girls she raised. She was a truck driver later in life, and frequently partnered with her husband, Bobby, on the road. She was also a Certified Nursing Assistant. She then did the paper route once she retired and would bring Jasmine along to help. She has helped raise her granddaughters, Jasmine, Faith, and Hope throughout the years, and has had a huge impact on their lives. She loved God and prayed every day for each of us. Diana loved spending time with her family and going to different places with them. She was always so proud of everything that her little family accomplished. Diana loved Peonies and Lilacs. She loved watching Guy Fieri, Golden Girls, Girl Meets Farm, Family Feud, and Stand-Up Comedy. She had a love for music and would jam out if it was a song she really loved. She loved dolphins and butterflies. She also always wanted to see the Grand Canyon, and the Winchester House. We will bring her ashes to these places to fulfill her wishes. She was full of spunk and loved a good time. There will be no funeral service, as per her wishes. "If they wanted to see me, they should've seen me while I was alive."
