Diane Sweeney

UPDATE: The current estimated time of the drawing for Diane's Volkswagen Beetle is early Spring. The closing of her estate will soon be finalized. Please check back here for more updates. We will add any new information to this page. Thank you for helping us to honor Diane's wish!





A humorous last wish of Diane’s was to give those in attendance of her funeral service the  opportunity to acquire ownership of her newer model Volkswagen Beetle or a car of similar make/model and year. After her estate is settled, the new owner of a VW Bug will be chosen at random, based on Guestbook signature and attendance at Resthaven Funeral home, South Oklahoma City.

Diane Lynn Sweeney, 68, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at Norman Regional Hospital on July 7, 2022. Her Celebration of Life service will be held at 10am July 22 at Resthaven Funeral Home Chapel in South Oklahoma City. There will be a graveside service that afternoon at Clinton Cemetery.
