Mrs. Pettigrew was a fiercely independent woman, who was known to be selfless in caring for others. She was extremely devoted to her family – particularly her precious grandchildren. Diane loved looking for treasures at flea markets, any time she could spend at the beach or on the lake, and reading as she was a huge Stephen King fan. Diane Pettigrew is survived by her son, William “Jason” (Meg) Farrell of Southaven, MS; her sister, Becky (Mike) Williams of Bartlett, TN; and one granddaughter, Jasmyn Farrell of Southaven, two grandsons, William Michael Farrell of Southaven, and Zack Farrell of Bartlett.
