Diane Travis Walborn
Diane Travis Walborn passed away Friday, Aug. 20, 1999, at her home, with her family by her side, after an extended battle with cancer.
Born April 25, 1944, in New York City, Diane continued to live in New York City where she became a certified interior designer contributing to the design of corporate office buildings and condominiums. She loved the Lord and was a member of Marble Collegiate Church in New York and Unity Church of Billings.
A Christmas visit to a friend brought Diane to Montana in 1990. It was at the Cowboy Reunion that she met John Walborn, a rancher of long-standing from Big Horn County. It was love at first sight, and as what friends marveled as a fairy tale romance, by the end of January, Diane had packed her belongings, her cat, Jesse, and moved to Montana. John and Diane married Oct. 5, 1991. A wonderful wife and loving grandmother to John's grandchildren, together at the ranch, they created the family and life they both desired.
This "City Gal" from Manhattan awed us as she made the transition to ranch life. Working right beside John, she delved into all aspects of ranching. In 1995 Diane became a bit lonesome for her profession. She and John purchased a second home on Blue Creek so she could be closer to Billings to pursue her career. She immediately began decorating and remodeling her new home. Everyone that saw the home was amazed at the artistic beauty she created. As Diane began design consultations in the area, she worked with Raffia on several Parade of Homes. Continuing her pursuit for design knowledge, she attended a Feng-Shui conference in San Diego in 1997 and became one of two licensed Feng-Shui practitioners in Billings.
With John actively involved in NILE, Diane became increasingly involved in the NILE horse show and trade show committee. This year with John as the newly elected president of the NILE, she again worked by his side.
Diane's greatest joy in life, besides being John's wife, was being Grandma to Karmara (Pooh) age 8, Kyra, age 5, and while struggling with her disease, she held on to welcome in May her new grandson, Kohl. Anxious that the children have every advantage as possible, she loved spoiling her grandchildren and relished taking Pooh school shopping.
Diane was a true and special friend to all that knew her. With her New York accent she taught us the importance of being a better person. She fought her disease with amazing perseverance and strength. With no cure to be found, with her style she taught us to cope.
Diane was preceded in death by her mother, Bobby St. Clair; a very special grandmother, Jesside Werner; and her son, Keith. She is survived by her husband, John; her son and daughter-in-law, Kirby and Karmae Walborn, their children Karmara, Kyra and Kohl; her very special twin brother, Donald Travis of New York; stepdaughter, Perri Swartz of Colorado; and stepson, John T. Walborn of California; many friends, her faithful dog, Duke, and two cats, Jesse and Biscuit.
Diane, your spirit and love for life was infectious to all who knew you. Our dear friend, you will be greatly missed. Go home with our heavenly father and decorate heaven. The day will come when we will all be together again.
A Memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 23, at the Smith West Chapel, 304 34th St. W. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the NILE Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 1981, Billings, 59103.
