Diana Smith Timmerman Isle of Palms - Diana Smith Timmerman, 80, of Isle of Palms, passed away Sunday, April 18, 2021 peacefully at home after a 7 month battle with cancer. Diana was born October 24, 1940 in Greenwood, SC. She was the youngest child of the late Eugenia Keller and Daniel Smith and her siblings, the late Dorothy Boyett and the late Danny Smith. She graduated from Greenwood High School in 1958 and Erskine College in 1961. She went to get her Master's Degree in Education from the College of Charleston. She taught school for over 27 years. Diana loved to travel, garden and spend quality time with her family and friends.

She traveled 31 summers to Shelter Island, NY, which resulted in acquiring many new friends. She was an active member of her Bridge Club, Beachcombers Club and Seal Island Sportfishing Society. She was a member of the Isle of Palms United Methodist Church. She and Harold moved to the Isle of Palms in 1966 with their 3-week old son, Hal.

I grew up just 4 houses down from the Timmermans and Mrs. Timmerman was like my 2nd mother for many years and into early adulthood. She is one of the kindest people I´ve ever met and she made the absolute best taco salad! I know she adored her family and especially her grandchildren. I will always be grateful for knowing her and I am praying for her family. May she rest in eternal peace.
