Diana Day 

03/07/1953-08/23/2020 

            What An Amazing Woman!!! 

            Diana was born at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois; but she got to Texas as soon as she could!  Diana’s father was in the Air Force, which took them around the world. 

Diana graduated from high school in San Antonio, TX, and from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, TX, majoring in Psychology. After college, Diana joined the United States Marine Corps.  Diana was fiercely devoted to the Marine Corps.   

            After her military service, Diana found much joy and rewarding fulfillment in being a teacher.  Diana taught students with learning disabilities, special needs, dyslexia, and those on the autism spectrum.  She dedicated her time and energy to her students; and mentored many assistants in that field. Diana retired in 2011.    

            Hawkeye learned to ride a motorcycle at the age of 14.  She learned to ride on a Norton 650 Commando.  During her lifetime she owned many motorcycles: Honda 90, Honda 125, Honda 450 (which she trailered cross country while in the Marine Corps), Yamaha Virago 750, Yamaha Virago 1100, Kawasaki Drifter1500, Yamaha Stratoliner Midnight 1900 (Her Absolute Favorite!), and a Honda Goldwing Trike GL1800.  

            Riding motorcycles was always a joy for Hawkeye.  The desire to ride was in her veins, so the trike was next in line.  Reluctantly she had to hang up the trike keys; as her health was requiring more and it was becoming increasingly difficult to enjoy the ride.  She always said “it’s all about the ride, enjoying yourself, and feeling free on the road, and when it is no longer a joy, but a strenuous struggle it is time to re-direct & re-set the sails for a safer and more enjoyable journey.”  

            Hawkeye joined U-Haul as navigator in the truck on the short and long hauls, and she enjoyed it very much.  Good times in the truck for sure!   

            Good times were also had as the San Antonio Chapter’s Godiva Ride at Madam Iva’s was always fun.  Hawkeye was an original chocolate!  Hawkeye loved her chocolates!! 

Diana was a True Warrior 

She was taken too soon 

Ride The Clouds Hawkeye 

We will ride together again!
