Memorial Service for Diana Soriano Bull, 63, of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, will be at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, July 12, 2024, at Evans Chapel of Memories in Poteau, Oklahoma, with Jim Cook officiating. 

Diana was born on November 30, 1960, in Austin, Texas, to Mary Luz (Garza) Soriano and Joseph Soriano.  She passed away on July 7, 2024, in Fort Smith, Arkansas.  She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Ricky Bull; sisters, Andrea & Yvonne Soriano.

Survivors include her daughters, Amy Brown-Manus and Darel Manus, Christina Rivas; grandchildren, Gentry, Graysen and Samuel Brown, Ethan Manus, Stephen Bull, Derick, Brayden, Tristan and Aubriella Rivas; sisters, Linda and Wesley McCroskey, Josie and Steve Moore; brother, Joe Soriano III; companion, Billy “Bird” Smith; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, friends and loved ones.

Diana worked as a phlebotomist and a dialysis technician.  In 2009, she moved in with her daughter, Amy, to help out – and never really left.  They both continued to help each other throughout the years.  Diana loved her grandsons and took them with her on many adventures.  She had a green thumb and was amazing with growing plants and flowers.  Diana loved Christmas and decorated almost every inch of the yard with lights.  She spent hours on her delicious dressing and insisted on home cooking for the holidays.   She was a nurturing soul and took care of her parents as they grew older and anyone else that needed care.  She never met a stranger and accepted everyone with an open heart.  Diana’s memory will be cherished and her infectious laughter will be profoundly missed.  We are all better for having known her. 

Cremation is under the direction of Evans & Miller Funeral Home of Poteau, Oklahoma.
