Mrs. Dinisa Hardley Folmar

Dinisa- it was wonderful to have met and laughed with you- U are a wonderful soul and now our ancestor. RIP Sister.

Your Alabama family, Carlos, Natasha, Claudia, Shawn Kim, and Felicia

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of our beloved Dinisa. My heart is so heavy, and I feel so broken losing my best friend. At this moment, she has an understanding of God that you and I cannot imagine. Please take comfort in knowing that. I pray that you will feel the embrace of God's love and find solace in His Words.

Psalm 34:18 - The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

John 14:1-3 - Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Romans 8:18 - For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Revelation 21:4 - He will wipe every tear from their eyes: There will be no more death or mourning crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. While I deeply mourn her passing, I would love to be there to celebrate her life. But being in the midst of the pandemic has changed everything about how we travel and how we say good bye. I will be joining you online and praying for your comfort.

I will be keeping your family in my prayers. I am so sorry for your untimely loss. Dinisa will be missed. Angela Wilson, USPTO

Danisa was such a sweet, caring, loving,and generous soul. She had such a humbling spirit. She made everyone she ever met feel special. I was just telling my family...if you met her on the street she would make you fell like you knew her all of your life. She never flaunted her sucess, she was such a down to earth and loving person. She was loved and will be missed by all...i have to admit that my heart is heavy right now. She was auch a bright light...she was one a kind and one to be respected, remembered and praised for the many good deeds that she did for all. Take your rest sweet angel. I will continue to keep Winston, Jackie, and the entire family lifted in prayer Fabian

I am so saddened by these news of Dinisa's passing. We worked together at a law firm in DC and instantly became friends. Her charm, wit and charismatic personality was so amazing to me and even after we no longer worked together we stayed in touch. What a light that is now in heaven. Sending prayers and condolences to her family.

Remembering you from that little girl following your dad into the gym, carrying his books or basketballs, to growing into the special woman you became. You were a jewel among jewels, and you will continue to shine in our hearts. Marv Epps

Dinisa was a wonderful person that was kind to all. I had the opportunity to get to know her at Coca-Cola and to work with her. She was a great lawyer and co-worker to all. After we had both left Coca-Cola, I had the opportunity to visit Dinisa at the NIKE Headquarters. It was a wonderful visit and I will have fond memories of that day forever. My best wishes to Winston and all of Dinisa's Family and Friends. Daniel Greif

What a beautiful soul! Thank you Dinisa for sharing your light with all of us. My prayers to your family and may you rest in power. Limer Batista

Thank you Dinisa for sharing your love and light with the world. You lived your life in such an inspirational way. Your grace and class were beyond measure. You welcomed me into your home back in 2004 when I was fresh in VA from GA. I'll never forget your smile and kindness and the laughs we shared during that pajama party. And because of you, I met my bestie that day. The impact of your giving heart will live on. You exemplified sisterhood. Rest amongst the angels. Soror Julandah

Blessings, Hardley Folmar family. You remain in our thoughts and prayers, and may Dinisa's memory be a blessing for us all. Much love, Winston's Georgetown Brothers (Class of '93)

I only knew Dinisa for a very short period of time. I first met her in June 2019. She was a person that provided me with a sense of peace, and harmony. Everything was peaceful about her, and beautiful. She will be missed at the Legal Department of The Hershey Company. I will always remember her smiling face.

Respectfully, Loli Thomsen

Dinisa, if I knew the last time we spoke would be the last time I would've said more. I would've recalled how I felt that crossing paths with you was nothing short of God's intention. I would've thanked you for becoming a fast mentor to me who would pour confidence into me, challenge me to be the best lawyer possible, and offer me an opportunity that would ultimately change the trajectory of my career for the better. The Coke internship changed the lives of myself and so many others and I hope you stand proud in that as one of the many pieces of your esteemed legacy. Thank you for always answering my calls, emails, and texts. Thank you for offering advice, connections, and interview prep. I was so excited to share with you six months ago that I had finally secured an in-house position and SO excited to finally join you at a CCWC conference. Thank you for truly leading by example. You will be so missed. - Tiffany Palmer Bell

I send love and blessings to beautiful Dinisa Hardley Folmar family members may God be with you all...Angela Durant

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the entire family. With Jackie Scott Bell, Dumfries, VA

Dinisa you will forever be missed. I will never forget your beautiful smile, kind spirit and all the laughs and fashion tips we shared. I love you! Rest in Love Beautiful One! My thoughts and prayers for the Hardley and Folmar family. Love, Shannan Wilkerson-Brown

Dear Dinisa, we are all still reeling from the news of your passing. We always think we will have tomorrow - to share a laugh or an inside joke from the many years we have known each other. I will miss your beautiful spirit and smile. My heart breaks for Winston, Jaden and your Mom. Love & Friendship always - Dolores Moro

Dinisa, my dear Friend, I can't believe I am writing those words. I can't believe the news I heard and still fighting against accepting it. Life is unfair, and it's always the good ones that get to go first. You were such an amazing person, an amazing friend, an amazing colleague and an amazing fighter! A true inspiration. I am so incredibly lucky to have known you and to have you in my life. My prayers goes to you Winston, Jayden and your family to give them the strength to continue their journey as you would have liked them to! I love you, friend, and always will. Thank you for everything you taught me. May you rest in peace you beautiful soul. Until we meet again. Love, Patrick Abimeri

Definitely will miss the Instagram Chats about our International Travels each year on our same birthday of 12/29! Prayers are with the family and May God Bless each of you during this time! Love, Greg McClendon

I remember when she was in college and she was excited and enthusiastic about school. We were all stationed at Barksdale AFB La. Always very Classy and Mature. Sleep In Peace .....Law

Dinisa was a beautiful person on the inside and outside. We served together for many years in the children's ministry. Her smile always made others feel at ease. She was kind, compassionate, and loving. I was sad to hear of her transition but I know that Heaven has gained someone special. To the family you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Sharon Ware

Dinisa, today we celebrate your exemplary life. As many others, I will always remember your beautiful smile and your cheerful spirit. You touched so many lives, and mine was not an exception; thank you! My sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with your family; may they have strength during this heartbreaking time. I am thinking of you and sending love, from Mexico City all the way to heaven. Con mucho cario. Pepe.

My beautiful, amazing, fabulous, flawless mentor...Soror...friend...sister...I would not be where I am today had I not met you, Dinisa. I still remember meeting you while completing the Summer Associate program at Delta Air Lines (you presided over the Coca Cola internship Program). You walked over to me and asked, "why are you standing still?"...and followed with "that's not networking!" I've been under your wing ever since. You were truly an experience for all who were blessed to be in your presence. I will never forget all of the wisdom you bestowed upon me...and I will fulfill my promise that I made to you, which was to do the same for others. I will miss you, my dear Soror. I am praying for your family and friends. Rest well, Dinisa. Love, Danielle M. Tyler

Dinisa was a beautiful person with a beautiful spirit. Our hearts and minds will forever hold the Memories and Love she shared with so many people. Sending our Love , Thoughts and Prayers Jacquelyn Malone, KeShaundra Malone and Family

I am heartbroken that I will not see your beautiful smile or hear your comforting voice again in this world, but I will never forget them and I know in my heart that you are in a good place now. Rest In Peace, and always know how much better this world is for having had you when we did. Love, Jim Dudukovich

To our Dearest Line Sister, Soror Dinisa, words will never be able to express how LOVED you are by so, so many and especially myself. I often wondered how is it you can be on the other side of the globe and still touching hearts, leaving your foot print as if you were 6 feet away. You never stopped being the glue that held and brought so many of us together. Lord I thank you for allowing us to share an angel placed on this earth during her time of service.

When I close my eyes, I can still see you smile and those beautiful eyes that light up a room. Again, Lord thank you for blessing me to be of witness to Soror Dinisa spreading Love and helping those in need. It can be a months that we didn't communicate, but when we did, it was line we never missed a beat.

Soror Dinisa will truly be missed, I can go on and write pages, but instead I want to share Lyrics from a song that truly fits for Soror Dinisa Hardley Folmar...

"Thank you for being a friend Traveled down a road and back again Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant I'm not ashamed to say I hope it always will stay this way My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow And if you threw a party Invited everyone you knew Well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me And the card attached would say Thank you for being a friend Thank you for being a friend "

Rest In Heaven Sweet Soror Dinisa!

I will miss my line sister Dinisa. She was precious in spirit and gave everything her best. May her family and her Husband Winston be protected by God's grace.

Yours truly, Denitra Reed Line Sister of Theta Zeta Spr 95 Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Dinisa was always kind, graceful, and thoughtful. I can't think of her without seeing that beautiful, endless smile. She was courageous in her battles and made big decisions without fear, taking her from Atlanta to Dubai to Oregon to Pennsylvania. We are all better to have known her. Peace and comfort to her Mom, Winston, family, and friends. Sharon Zealey

Nisa, the beautiful young lady who lit up the room with her smile!! Give a hug to your Dad from us! God needed to have his angel back home with HIM!! We send prayers to the Hardley and Folmar family!

Elias and Barbara Oxendine

Soror Dinisa "Superstar" Folmar,

Words can not express how much I miss you already. I feel honored to have met you at the Saffron in Dubai, and our relationship flourished from there. You were such a sharing person. Your humility was a model for the world to see. What a fighter you were; a fighter with a smile! You will always be remembered as a CHAMPION, Soror "Superstar"! My prayers are for Winston, your mom, and Jared's strength during this time and especially the days ahead. I pray that they continue to look to God for divine solace and comfort. In sisterly love always and forever, Soror Elle SmithBennett

Dinisa, I'm glad that I had the please of meeting you and Winston. Debra and I really enjoyed the time we spent with you guys during the Baton Rouge/New Orleans trip. We had a blast at the French Quarter Festival. Debra and I still laugh about how we hung out in the French Quarters all day and like some old people, we were done and back in our hotels by dark. I will forever cherish that memory. We will see you again, Kirk Douglas

Nisa, my childhood friend and forever Sister. I will miss you my dear. My heart is broken that we didn't get a chance to see one another after our extensive overseas travels. Know I will continue to make you proud and my accomplishments will be highlighted by remembering your generosity and love you showed everyone you came in contact with. Until we meet again, Diva. Keep smiling. Love you for life. You friend from Ensley... Pensacola, FL. Marilyn Moorer Jackson

Had the opportunity to meet Dinisa in Shreveport, La last year. We were headed to the ULM/Grambling game. What an infectious smile she had. Met several of her line sisters on game day & she was so happy. Rest in Power Soror.

Dinisa, you were the common thread that wove so many of our different fabrics(us) together. Your friendship was unwavering and your generosity unmatched. Thank you for so many amazing memories. You have left your imprint upon my family's hearts. I am hurting right now, but I take comfort in knowing I will see you again. I will continue to lift Winston, your amazing mom, Jared, Jadon, and your extended family and friends in my prayers. For our loss is HEAVEN'S gain. Love Debra C. Douglas

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Dinisa's passing. Dinisa was a truly remarkable soul -- strong, centered, caring, curious and kind. The world is a better place for her having been born and she leaves behind a remarkable legacy of mind and spirit. The last time we met in person was over a long and loving lunch in Boston at INTA -- it was such a special time. I loved Dinisa and pray that God holds Winston and the entire family in His hand. May her memories serve as blessing. Love and condolences from Israel. Ellen Shankman

I am saddened to learn of such a great loss! Dinisa was a very kind, beautiful lady, who exemplified great style, friendliness, and personality. She was a first-class person, who will be greatly missed. My most sincere condolences to the Hardley-Folmar Family. God bless you today and always. Marcus Henderson

My sister, my friend, who knew that when we prayed together last Sunday, that would be our last prayer. You were one of the most thoughtful, insightful, and giving people I will probably ever encounter in my life. The life you lived will be an inspiration to so many others. You were a remarkable person on earth and I know your heavenly angelic acts will blow our minds! Praying that Winston, Mrs. Jackie, your siblings and the rest of your family will somehow find comfort and strength in knowing that you are no longer in pain and safe in our Heavenly Father's arms. Rest easy LS! I'll miss you and that beautiful smile. Forever your Sister Friend, Tonja Barber

My God... It was so hard to hear of your passing. That smile, your enormous kindness, and grace. I remembered when me and Greg visited with you in your apartment when you were in law school. Man how we laughed and talked in your bedroom. You were our sister and we chilled that night. You made everyone feel so close to you. I will forever cherish those times and honor your memory by donating to your scholarship. Rest well sweet Angel and to her family, we celebrate this gift of a person with you and pray that our Savior will comfort you at this time. KD ( NLU class of 1996)

Dinisa, the only person I know whose relaxed face always has a smile...and what a smile. Such a beautiful person inside and out! I am so sad that we do not get more time with her (now), but so very blessed to have known and worked with her. My prayer for the family is that you are covered with love and peace that surpasses all understanding!! Love and Blessings, Adela

Dinisa, we connected instantly when meeting. Your warmth exuded and we became friends. Thank you for the short time we shared. May God strengthen your family. Sweet rest and love my sister. Jacquelyn N. Brown

Dinisa you were by far the sweetest soul I met at NLU, even though we hadn't spoken in a few years I cherished and still considered you one of my favorite people of all time. I will never forget the time we were either at Mardi Gras or Bayou Classic, you were talking to Debra and was involved in a fender bender and you asked Debra what's the number to 911, that was hilarious. You will be truly missed.

Rest easy Dinisa Chris Patrick

Dinisa you were truly a gem! Very genuine, humble, and kind! From the day that Mona introduced us, you treated me like your long lost little sister. Thank you for loving on me and my children. You have been an excellent role model and have shown me that no stop is ever an end, but a period of continuous growth. I love you my friend and in sisterhood! May God bless your husband, son, mother, brother and the rest of your family and friends in times of sorrow. THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND! Shayla BARLOW Jones

Cristina De Dona

Dinisa, What a bright star, what a kind soul, what an open heart!! Still reeling from the shock of your transition. You were a people connector, I met you at INTA but stayed in touch. You always made an effort to stay in touch. I remember catching up with my daughter in Dubai! We will miss you at Sista girls, you were there right at the very beginning ! You will be sorely missed. Thank you for bring a blessing to us all, thank you for being you, always smiling. Well you have gone ahead in a journey that all must eventually , you just left too too soon. Sleep well Dinisa and as we say out here, you Dinisa were "good peoples". We love you but God loves you more.

Lara KAYODE Lagos, Nigeria

I am at a loss for words over the passing of very dear friend. Dinisa was one person who definitely knew how to make sweet and strong look beautiful in the same instant. She was special to all who knew her. God certainly got a fabulous Soldier and Angel in one with Dinisa! From our vision boards, to our trips together, to our 5am Peleton rides and to our Gunners text discussions, she will be missed! I love you and know I will see you again. Keep smiling! Love, Jess

Dear Dinisa, Loving you is so easy! What a smile. What a heart. We are so honored to have been a small part of witnessing such a fabulous person - albeit for too short of a time. Huh Sherri for us. We love you, Kamla Alexander

Dinisa took me under her wing and became an instant sister the first time that we met. She was an amazing and down-to-earth woman that will FOREVER be in my heart!

Chiquita Woolfolk Banks

Nisa, You will forever be my sweet sister since the 7th grade (Mather AFB, California). You have always been a Beautiful person inside and out (smile, heart and soul). That smile of yours is so pretty and bright. I will always remember it. God chooses his flowers wisely. Give a hug to your pops (Mr. JP) for me. I'm praying for your family, but I know God has you in his arms. I Love you to Life! Love, Tina Brumfield

Love, Tamika Day

You will forever be my big sister and your smile is a reminder to never quit, trust yourself and to allow God to direct your path! We have so many memories and hair stories! Thanks for always being a blessing to me and others! You have left a lasting impression on everyone you have come in contact with ! We love you and we will miss you! My heart is heavy, but God has his hands on all of us! Tell your dad he is still the coolest cat we know and he has his babygirl again!
