Diane Keenon-Grant, 74, of Sweet Home, Oregon passed away Friday, November 24. She was born in Wright City, Oklahoma to William J. and Betty (Gaskey-Maxon) Brodie. Diana lived in Wright City, Oklahoma until her family moved to Sweet Home in 1949.

Diana worked at Safeway in Sweet Home for 22 years, and then transferred to Safeway in Lebanon and worked there for seven more years until her retirement in 2005.

She loved working and gardening in her yard. She enjoyed hunting and camping with her husband and friends. She also enjoyed taking historical vacations and going on cruises with her family and friends.
