COLUMBUS
Diana J. Frame, 72, of Columbus, passed away peacefully May 2, 2025, at 12:25 a.m. at Our Hospice of South Central Indiana Inpatient Facility.
Diana was born on May 30, 1952, in Columbus, Indiana, the daughter of Otis and Ruth Burns Basey. On August 12, 1998, she married Richard “Rick” H. Frame.
Diana’s passion for journalism was the hallmark of her professional life. She dedicated many years to shaping the world of print as a Content Manager and Editor for several area magazines. Her keen eye for detail and her ability to weave words together left an indelible mark on the industry. Diana and her husband also owned Ric’s Sports and Spirits for fifteen years.
She was a woman of many interests. Gardening was peaceful for her. She found solace in the pages of a good book and joy in the simple pleasure of baking with her grandchildren.
Traveling throughout the United States with her husband, Rick and close friends was something that Diana always looked forward to.
Mrs. Frame stood firm in her beliefs, facing life’s challenges with grace and determination. She looked forward to every opportunity to gather with family and friends, cherishing each moment and loved creating memories.
She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever remain a guiding light for her family and friends.
Survivors include her husband, Rick; children, Diane (Wayne), Reagan (Jeremy), Rawley, Kathleen; grandchildren, Ze’ev, Vincent, Jaxon and Cadence.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Michael.
In keeping with the family’s request, cremation will take place and a celebration of life gathering will be held Friday from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. at Barkes, Weaver & Glick Funeral Home on Jonathan Moore Pike. There will be no formal memorial service.
