Anita “Diane” Mumford Lancaster, 75, passed away Monday, May 3, 2021 at her home. Born in Washington, D.C. on December 25, 1945, she was the daughter of the late Major L. Mumford and Margaret Bass Warren. She was the wife of the late Donnie Hugh Lancaster and sister of the late Lavonne Mumford.

Warren; grandchildren, Taylor Jane Tittle, Stephanie Renea Gray (Jacob), and Victoria Lynn Davis (Michael); and great-grandchild, Maren Gray.

Diane is best described as “One-of-a-kind.” She was sassy, strong-willed, and determined. Diane had a heart of gold and would do anything for someone in need. She loved spending time with her family and the opportunity to play bingo.
