Diane Robertson was born in Brooklyn, NY on October 19, 1958 at St. Johns Hospital to Willie Lee Robertson. She was one of 4 children. She attended school in Brooklyn and graduated from Clara Barton High School. She then began her own family in 1980. She and Bruce Wright Sr. were blessed to have two children together and remained friends throughout life.
Diane was known to many as Mama D. She loved and valued spending time with family and friends. Many can recall, while being in her presence there was always music playing while she would shake her TRUNK, playing spades (she always had to play first) and making sure everyone had a grand time.
Mama D had a heart of gold. She was a loving and caring daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend to many. Anyone she knew and loved, she excepted as her extended family. She often made sure everyone was taking care of, fed, happy and safe. If she could help in any way possible, she would. Whether it be feeding the homeless or less fortunate to babysitting, being a listening ear, and opening her home and heart to anyone who needed her extra, gentle love. All the kids loved her and grew to be a neice, nephew, or grandbaby. She had such a vibrant, bubbly soul and a huge infectious smile.
Diane believed in God, attended Church regularly and gave her life to Christ many years ago. She enjoyed her gospel music and the word of God. She found a Church home and became a member of the Sacred Heart Church of Faith in Brooklyn, NY.
