Norma Diane Dunbar, 78, of Jenks, OK passed away February 14, 2022. She was born July 28, 1943 in Tulsa, OK to Norman J. and Julia Beatrice Petty Faulkner. Her father died when she was very young.

Diane was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a homemaker for many years until her children were older. She then partnered with her mother and became co-owner of 2 different flower shops in Tulsa. She was very creative and became a talented florist. After selling the flower shops years later, she went to work at Bankoff Pipe and Supply in Tulsa as their office manager. She and the family were members of Jenks First Baptist Church for many years where she taught Sunday school and was very involved until her health deteriorated.
