No Services Planned At This Time.

Diana Lynn Collier, known by everyone as Lynn, 66, of Skiatook, OK, was born January 21, 1959, in Poteau, OK, to Lee Boyce Faulkenberry and Doris Faye (Lazalier) Faulkenberry. She passed away January 4, 2026, in Skiatook, OK.

Lynn was an extraordinary woman, a single mother, she saw her daughter attend college, and become a surgeon, all while she was continuing her own education to become a critical care nurse, where she helped others survive devastating illnesses with a compassionate touch. That compassion extended into all parts of her life. She was always ready to stand by the underdog, to speak out when others were silent. Lynn was a loved daughter, sister, mother and grammy. Her soul has risen and now a peace in mind, body and spirit.

Goodbye my sister, dad’s hand will guide you.
