Diana M. (Fultz) Floyd,79, of Delphi, went on to be with her Lord and Savior on February 25th, 2025, surrounded by loved ones in her home of 51 years after a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis with heart complications.

She was born at home on the family tobacco farm in Tazewell Tennessee, on April 2nd, 1945, to the late Herman and Ellen (Runyon) Fultz, she was one of 13 children. Her family moved to the Delphi area when she was five years old, and she attended Pittsburg School where she participated as a cheerleader for the basketball team. 

She married her high school sweetheart Robert A. Floyd on May 28th, 1961, in Delphi, and he preceded her in death in 2015 after nearly 54 years of marriage.

Diana started her work career as the first driver for CDC in Monticello, using the family car to transport the clients to the Monticello facility. Eventually they acquired a small bus that she drove for many years. She continued to work for CDC for 35 years rising through the ranks to become the Head of Transportation and overseeing several buses at both the Monticello and Rensselaer locations.

She could grow anything and had a “green thumb” when it came to growing both vegetables and flowers, her yard had become a virtual botanical garden over the years. She loved antiquing with her husband and has brought back to life many beautiful pieces for her home.
