She attended Santa Rita Elementary, Lee Jr. High and graduated from Central High School. Diana met the love of her life, Raymond Torres, in 1987 and they were married December 1, 1989. Years later she decided to pursue her passion of helping others by attending Howard College and earning her LVN degree in 1998.
