Diane Wright Weaver, 'very giving' to others
Diane Wright Weaver of Edgewood had a tough final year fighting cancer and suffering heart problems, but she never stopped thinking of others.

Mrs. Weaver, 59, died Friday at her home.

She was a member of Union Baptist Church, and, her daughters says, a woman of strong faith.
