Obit - Diane N. Busbee

Jesus called and Mama answered! Diane N. Busbee of Covington, passed away October 21, 2012, at the age of 80. Mrs. Busbee was a member of St. John's Baptist Church, in Decatur, and former member of Community Baptist Church, in Henry County. She was a very active church member, but also enjoyed attending other churches in her neighborhood. On August 19, 1945, she was presented a New Testament Bible for being so proficient in Bible sword drills. She raised ten children, at 4144 Canby Lane; and while she had no family to raise her, she was blessed with 65 immediate family members of her own. She loved doing word searches, and was known for her fried chicken and dressing. Mrs. Busbee's favorite Bible verse reads, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13); and her favorite saying, "I'm gonna make it, Uncle Jim!" She was preceded in death by her son, Tony White; and her husband, George Cleveland Busbee.
