Obituary of Diana Lee Gaither “Chase”

Diana Lee Gaither (Chase) was a beautiful soul. She was so kind and loving and was a woman of faith. She was a great mother and loved all her children and family dearly. She was a hip lady even in her 70’s and requested listening to rap up to her last moments here on earth. She was super classy, had a great sense of style and was quite the knockout. She was definitely a wild child and a potential hippie in her days. As a young child and still to this day, she had an extreme love of horses, butterfly’s, and loved the beautiful Denver Sunshine of her main home town. She was one of the toughest ladies I know, she was quite the “Rockstar” so to speak. She has went by the name DeeDee for most of her life, and she was down for some CocaCola. She wanted all her family to know of the love she has for each and every one of them and that she believes in forgiveness and everlasting life. She will be missed by so many but will forever be in our hearts.
