      Keyser, WV - Diana Lynn Wimer, 69, of Keyser passed peacefully away at home surrounded by her family on Friday, October 10, 2025. Born on February 10, 1956, at Keyser, WV, she was the daughter of the late Willis R. Shumaker, Sr., and Claris (Grapes) Shumaker. She was preceded in death by her parents, her father-in-law and mother-in-law Charles Neff and Ada (Ward) Wimer, and an infant grandchild, Isaiah Neff Wimer.

      Diana graduated from Keyser High School in 1974 and attended Fairmont State University where she received a B.A. in business education in 1978. For 29 years, she was a business education and computer applications teacher at Keyser High School.

She endured her health challenges with a smile, having MS since her teens. Her healthiest years were during her pregnancies with her three children.
