Words of love overflow for our beloved Diamond T. Pettway, born on May 20, 1994, in Schenectady, NY and called to rest at the young age of 29 on July 2, 2023 after a tragic accident.
Diamond was raised in NYC as a child and returned to Schenectady where she received her education through high school. For a brief stint Diamond attended a dental hygienist program in White Plains, NY. She loved a beautiful smile, one like her own. Her beautiful smile and dreamy eyes captivated the hearts of many.
Diamond was a loving mother and wanted only what was best for her kids no matter what. She had a beautiful spirit and a loving heart. . Her vibrant personality could be felt by all she met. She loved music and clothes her beauty always shown. She enjoyed listening to music while she would get dressed. Taking selfies of her stylish fits and her hair were a must. A style of her own, dancing to her own drum. Unique in her own right when all was said and done.
She was a child of god and who understood gods love and mercy. She knew that God would take care of her. The battle stronger than her fight. The darkness came and God brought her to the light.
