Diana Salazar

Diana Salazar

Alma Diana Salazar, but don’t call her Alma, her name was Diana Salazar, born on June 26, 1966, in Harlingen, Texas.  She lived most of her life in Chicago, IL, but has always wanted to come back to Texas, And Thanks to God, Texas is where she spent her last 19 months of her life, filled with love and joy.  She was brave, strong, and loving sister, mother and grandmother as well as a friend, and most important a child of God.  She fought and gave her all in her battle with cancer.  But her name was called from up above on February 2, 2023. She was called to come home in Heaven.  A precious one from us has gone, a voice we love is still, a place is vacant in our hearts.  With broken hearts and lots of tears, she will be missed and always loved.  Diana was a great loving sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.

She liked doing DIY projects and great with plants, the best green thumb person, when it came to road trips, she would take the wheel not as a passenger but the driver.  Always put others first above herself.

Diana has hugged and kissed the ones she leaves behind, her baby sister Yvonne “Bonnie†(Jerry Hatley) Salazar-Hatley nephew Nathan Salazar, her children; Latoya O’dneal, Daniel Sahara (Jolee Sahara), Cindy Contreras (Alex Contreras), grandchildren; Cortez Sahara, Ben Sahara, Nadia Ritcheson, Alexandria Contreras, Alessia Contreras, and Jesus Contreras, great-grandchildren; Leonardo “Leo†Abdriel Hernandez-Sahara, Aaliyah Rose Hernandez-Sahara, Xavier “Xa†Damon Buzo, and Juliano Ritcheson.

Also extended family.
