Bonnie "Dianne" Buffington

Shreveport, LA - A celebration of life will be held for Bonnie "Dianne" Buffington, 61, will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at Rose-Neath's Southside Chapel. Father Karl Daigle will be officiating. Interment will follow at Northwest Louisiana Veteran Cemetery. Visitation will be from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on January 4, 2016 at the funeral home. Dianne was born on July 19, 1954 to Jack Bonnie and Joycelyn Cummings Buffington in Poteau, OK. She passed away on December 28, 2015. Dianne was a loving and beautiful lady. She loved her family and friends, and of course Elvis. She always brought a smile to everyone's face when she saw them and she could always make you laugh by the things she said and did. Her life was filled with love for her mom (Joyce), her dad (Jack), and her sisters Pam, Brenda and Jackie and all her nieces, nephews and friends. She will be missed and thought of often, she is at peace with God now and her mom and dad, and I'm sure her favorite person Elvis. I know she was greeted with open arms by her mom and dad and all of loved ones that went before her when she was called to Heaven, tears of happiness in their eyes and Elvis singing a special song just for her. Our hearts are heavy with sorrow for missing her so much already, but our hearts are also overflowing with joy that she is in Heaven with her mom and dad. They all hear our prayers and know how much she was loved and will be missed. Dianne is smiling down upon us all while standing between her mom and dad with their arms wrapped around her and letting us all know that she loves and misses us as much as we all love and miss her. Dianne is preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her sisters, Pam and husband Jerry Patton, Brenda Tuttle, and Jackie and husband Mitchell Shirley, brother, Mark Victory and fiancé Theresa Delany, nephews, Jason Patton and spouse Kim Mauldin, Vincent Leone, nieces, Kelly and Michael Kelly, April and husband Bobby Graham, and Hannah Shirley, great nieces and nephews, Joshua Graham, Jasper and Savana Patton, Brayden Leone, Mackenzie and Mikaela Kelly. Honoring her as pallbearers will be Michael Kelly, Jason Patton, David Tuttle, Jr., Slyck Tinsley, Chad Sims, Mitchell Shirley, Mark Victory, and Jasper Patton. Honorary pallbearers will be Jerry Patton and Ricky Tuttle.
