Veness Diden, of Sunbright, TN

Mrs. Veness Shannon Diden, age 91, joined her loved ones in their eternal home on July 19th, 2021, peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones.

Mrs. Diden was born on April 14th, 1930, in Sunbright, TN, the fifth of thirteen children to Virgil and Linda (Goodman) Shannon. She is preceded in death by her husband G.T. “Jake” Diden, five brothers, and four sisters.

Throughout her life she was devoted to the Lord and faithfully attended and supported her church, Sunbright’s Church of God of Prophecy. One of her greatest joys was spending time with family and friends, cooking at church camps, and visiting the Holy Land in Israel.
