Dianna S. Lanham - Obituary

ianna S. “Di” and “Nonna” Lanham, 55 years young and longtime resident of Shady Side, passed in her home on July 21, 2021 after a long tough battle with Breast Cancer. Dianna was a 1984 Bowie High graduate who went on to pursue a career in cosmetology but quickly changed career paths after having children. She worked at Unique Mounting, managing the picture frame shop, a job she took to be close to home for her family. Dianna was a member of Our Lady Of Sorrows Catholic Church where she enjoyed time preaching the Catholic Faith with her family. She also enjoyed camping or “glamping” as she would say, dancing, going to every single sporting event for her kids, which turned into watching her grandkids play, hosting gatherings at her home, and she loved listening to country music. She was Luke Combs's number one fan! Dianna is survived by her husband of 36 years, Steve Lanham, her children, Bob (Ashley) Lanham of Deale and Jessica (Devin) Crutchfield of Shady Side; her brothers David (Domenica, “Mimma”) DeVaughn of Annapolis and Donnie (Donna) DeVaughn of Southport, NC; her grandchildren Quinn and Brooks Lanham and Raegan Crutchfield; and her mother, Dolores DeVaughn of Annapolis. She was preceded in death by her father, Robert DeVaughn. A Memorial Mass to celebrate Dianna’s life will be held on Saturday, July 24 at 12:30pm at St. Andrew by the Bay Catholic Church: 701 College Parkway, Annapolis. A celebration of life will continue at the Lanham residence following the Memorial Mass. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Dianna’s name may be made to Dianna's DreamTeam for the 2021 Susan G.
