Beverly Diane Grissom

Beverly Diane Grissom, age 61, of Clinton, Mississippi, went to her heavenly home on Saturday, April 3, 2021, at Merit Health Central Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, April 12, 2021, at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tallulah, Louisiana, with Bro. Bill Bearden officiating.

Diane was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, on January 1, 1960, to Quincy Whitfield and Farris Luniel Driskill Foster. She graduated from Springhill High School and continued her education to receive an elementary school teaching degree from Northeast Louisiana University. Diane married Larry Grissom on October 3, 1987. She worked as a kindergarten teacher for many years. She enjoyed crafting, spending time with her kids, grandkids, and “granddogs”, and she enjoyed crossword puzzles as long as someone else was in the room to help her. Her favorite “happy” place was being on the beach even if she was only able to go there in her thoughts. Being there helped her cope with the many years of pain. Through it all, she managed to always have a smile and a happy disposition. Diane could be found every weekend at the American Legion listening to music. She was the #1 fan of the Common People Band in which her husband, Larry, was the bass player.

Diane is survived by her husband of 33 years, Larry Grissom; children, Kim Tidwell, Bailee Grissom, and Logan Grissom and fiancée Bria; grandchildren, Maggi Lyn and Thomas Jay Hestle; mother, Ferris “Janet” Foster; brothers, Dan Foster and wife Debbie, Kerry Foster and wife Joyce, and Jerry Foster and wife Kim; and a host of nieces, nephews, other family, and friends.

She is preceded in death by her father, Quincy “Pop” Foster.

The family of Beverly Diane Grissom wishes to thank everyone for your prayers, support, and well wishes throughout this difficult journey.
