February 22, 1947 - July 14, 2018
July 14, 2018 God called an angel home to rest. Diana Maria McGhee, 71, of Avilla left this world Saturday morning. Diana was born in Bauxite to the late Charles and Artella ''Shug'' Wear on February 22, 1947. In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by her in-laws, Lonnie and Veo McGhee; brother, Boddy Wear; and sister, Gaynell Cummings.
Diana had a heart bigger than life. She would much rather give than receive. No matter the pain she was enduring, she always worried about you. She loved her family more than life itself. She was a wonderful wife and Momma. Diana was also a floral designer.

McGhee of Avilla; two daughters, Laura Forbes of Avilla and Melissa (Eddie) Swaffar of Conway; four grandchildren, Khrista Parnell, Heather Swaffar, Kayla Forbes, and Pascal Swaffar; five great-grandchildren, Emma Wilkerson, Addison Oswalt, James Oswalt, Pasizlee Yeldell, and Payton Yeldell; three sisters, Charlene Schall, Ruth Stokes, and Brenda Cerallo all of Benton; and several nephews and nieces.
Visitation will be held 12:00 p.m. Tuesday, July 17, 2018 in the chapel of Roller-Ballard Funeral Home (315-4047) with funeral service to follow at 1:00 p.m. Bro. Buddy Holderfield will be officiating. Interment will follow in Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Alexander. Serving as pallbearers are Pascal Swaffar, Eddie Swaffar, Darell Stokes, Micheal Stokes, Tommy Stokes, and Jeremy Rowland.
