She lived around the western United States in California, Oregon, Texas, and several towns in Montana. In 1972 she and husband Larry Swain moved to Roundup where she settled in and never left. Diana was fun-loving, artistic, always eager to socialize, and loved to play bingo and board and card games. She enjoyed her years of keeping score at the local bowling alley in Roundup and her affiliation with the Montana Arabian Horse Association. She was also an animal lover who had many beloved pets over the years.
She was preceded in death by both parents; by husbands Joe Gilmer, Larry W. Swain, Sr, and her soulmate, Richard “Dick” Cartwright; and by daughter Janet Louise Anderson.

Swain, Jr; by numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren; and by first husband Phillip Anderson.
