Upon graduation from high school, she began working in the family business, F.N. Lang Plumbing and Heating as an office coordinator. She enjoyed attending the University of Virginia's football games and taking part in all of the fun activities on UVA's campus. She loved to dance! In 1945, she met "the love of her life," Bill Diamond, while he was attending law school at the university. They always said it was "love at first sight." They married on November 6, 1948 in "the biggest church in Washington, D.C.," Calvary United Methodist Church. They moved to Jackson after marrying in order for her husband, Bill, to begin his law practice, Fonville and Diamond, in his home town.
