Diamond Marqueé Mullen

Diamond Marqueé Mullen, born on August 10, 1995, to the late Diane Short (Mother), whom she loved and cherished, and Marcus Mullen (Father) in Akron, Ohio. Diamond lived with her Dad, Marcus from the age of 2-1/2 until she was 18 years old.

Marcus and Diamond moved to Columbus, Ohio when Diamond was fifteen. She graduated from Beachcroft High School in Columbus, Ohio. She worked as a health aide for most of her adulthood.

Diamond enjoyed cheer leading and cooking, baking being her passion, which she inherited from her Mom, Diane, and both of her grandmothers, Rose Short and Johnnie Mae Mullen.

Diamond was always very caring, and would give the clothes off her back to anyone in need. She prided herself for being a true friend to all, especially to everyone she knew in her life, growing up. She attributed this from the love given to her in her own life growing up.
