Linda Diane “Little Nanny” Owens, 82, of Hollis, Okla., passed away on June 12, 2025, at the Colonial Manor II Nursing Home in Hollis.
The daughter of Guy and Juanita Owens, of Wellington, Texas, Diane was born Nov. 14, 1942. She served as an X-ray technician at the Harmon Memorial Hospital and a much-loved teacher’s aide in the Hollis Public School system.
Always an outspoken lady, Diane would tell you like it was but love you in the same sentence. She will always be remembered for her constant matching outfits, her love of large jewelry and of course, her cheetah print.
Diane loved being a grandmother and a great-grandmother. Her grandkids were her world. If you could not find Diane out and about on a Sunday, she would be at home in her chair watching NASCAR or yelling at the television about a football game not going the way she wanted.
Diane is survived by her daughter, Keverly Kent, of Wellington; grandson Wesley Kent, of Hollis; and all of her extended family. She will be greatly missed by everyone that came in contact with her during her life.
The family would like to send out hugs and love to the staff at the Wellington Care Center and Colonial Manor II, as well as Donna Hudspeth, for all their help in Diane’s final days.
A celebration of Diane’s life will be held at a later date. Local arrangements and cremation are under the care of the Harmon County Funeral Home in Hollis.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to be made to the Harmon County Funeral Home, Hollis, to offset funeral costs.
