She was born October 8, 1939, in Grant, Oklahoma to Dayton Hammock and Loree Rogers Hammock. She married the love of her life Glen (Don) Donald Diamond on November 21, 1958.

Dora grew up in Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah. She served her country by supporting Don for over 23 years in the United States Navy which allowed them to live in many states coast to coast. They made lifelong friends and had fun adventures along the way. They retired in 1978. Don and Dora loved camping and were happiest spending time in the outdoors with their family and friends. Dora loved music, singing and dancing. She loved doing ceramics and even had her own kiln.
