Diana worked in the Lodi School District for 18 years as a teacher at the Hilltop Elementary School.
"Diana’s spirit was fulfilled when spending time with DJ, family, and friends, whether it was at the Caribbean Sea in Punta Cana, on the boat at Tice’s, or dancing to her favorite country and freestyle music," her obituary reads. "Diana had an infectious smile that would brighten any room she walked into. If you were blessed enough to have known this beautiful soul, you know that heaven has gained its greatest angel."
Among those who survive her are her son, Daniel Jordan aka DJ, parents Adelino and Sameiro Pereira, and her sister Angela Brito.
Parents of students, friends, and colleagues mourned Diana's loss.
