Dianna Hanna Baldwin

Dianna Hanna Baldwin, 72 of Pride, Louisiana, departed this life peacefully on October 13th 2025, surrounded by her loved ones. Born May 1st, 1953, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Clinton Lee Hanna (Father) and Jeanette Melder Hanna (Mother). Raised in Pride, she travelled to California for college and fun times with her cousin Judy (who was like a sister), perfecting her bartending skills, before returning to Louisiana and marrying the love of her life.

Dianna was blessed with many talents leading to a vast array of hobbies. Some include cooking, making sure no one went hungry, gardening, quilting and sewing (making many cherished items for her family), acrylic and oil painting, playing music and singing, and she was a master craftswoman. A bargain never passed by Dianna as she loved the hunt of a sale. An avid LSU Tigers and Cincinnati Bengals fan, she enjoyed yelling at the TV during games and wearing their colors with pride. Dianna was very active in 4-H and she passed that passion on to her children and grandchildren.

Before retiring from Mayfair Lab Elementary in 2017, she shared her gift as a Florist for decades, later adding in teaching and Paraprofessional work. She believed in nourishing children with nature, reading and writing, and curiosity. She loved all children she worked with, including the 4H kids and many of her daughters’ friends, carrying them in her heart daily.

She is survived by her Husband Barry Baldwin, Daughters Jessica Hawk (Victor), Jenny Phillips, Alyssa Galloway (Trevor), and Emily White (John). Her Grandchildren, which she so deeply loved, Austin (Abbie), Justin, Nickolas, Abagail, Ryleigh, Noah, Madelynn, Abby, Isabelle, Alessa, William, Hannah, and Baby “C.W.”

She is also survived by her brother, Wayne (Gloria) and sister-in-law Sheri. She leaves behind nieces and nephews Cheri (John), Henry, Christina (Casey), Derrick (Jenn), Scottie, Nicholas (Regan), Dean (Connor), and Andrew (Kendall). Dianna also had many great-nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by her Mother and Father, her cousin Judy (Joseph), and her brother-in-law Scott.
