Linda Diane Roberts

Linda Diane Dillon Weaver Roberts passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at the age of 71. Born on June 19, 1953, in Bluefield, West Virginia, Diane was the beloved daughter of Mary Ruth Hinkle and Billie David Dillon and the sister of David. Diane was a proud graduate of Virginia Tech, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting in 1976. That same year, she married her college sweetheart, Carl B. “Mike” Weaver. Together, they built a life centered around their family. Diane chose to leave her career in accounting to devote herself to raising their two children, Amy and Chris. She worked tirelessly to ensure that her children had the resources, love, and encouragement to pursue their passions and dreams. Diane’s heart overflowed with love for her grandsons, Cameron (17) and Drew (12), and she treasured every moment spent with them. Their fondest memories include family vacations to Myrtle Beach, Disney, and more recently, exploring the breathtaking national parks of Utah and Colorado. The mountains of Southwestern Virginia were where Diane found peace and joy. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, she enjoyed hosting family and friends, making memories that will last a lifetime. She also cherished her outings with her best friend, Dreama Muller, including visits to the Floyd Country Store and hiking the Cascades. Diane was a dedicated Hokie, and she loved tailgating at Virginia Tech football games, first with her Richmond crew and later with the Hokie Hill Crew, who welcomed her with open arms. Diane was incredibly lucky to find love again with David Roberts. Together, they made the most out of their 8 short years of marriage, traveling the world, sharing experiences and creating memories that will forever be cherished. Diane was predeceased by her first husband, Mike Weaver; her mother, Mary Ruth Hinkle; her father, Billie David Dillon; and her brother, David Dillon. She is survived by her loving husband, David Roberts, her daughter, Amy Kendall (Bryan); her son, Chris Weaver (John); her grandsons, Cameron and Drew; her nieces, Julie Dillon and Mary Beth Floyd; and her many cousins. Diane will be remembered for her boundless love, her infectious laughter, and her ability to make every moment special. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who loved her and were touched by her kindness, strength, and unwavering devotion to family. A celebration of Diane’s life will be held on December 8th at 11 a.m. at Mercer Funeral Home in Bluefield, WV, followed by interment with her family at Grandview Memorial Gardens in Bluefield WV.
