Diamond Champagne Transou

Diamond C. Transou, 33, lovingly known for her gentle spirit and kind heart, passed away on May 29, 2026. She was born on Sunday, February 21, 1993, in Mansfield, Ohio, and was the cherished only child of Keshi Davis and Ken Redmond. Diamond lived a life rooted in faith, love, and quiet joy. She found comfort and strength in reading her Bible and faithfully attending church. She attended All Believers in Christ Church (Pastor Russell Stanford), where her faith continued to grow. She also enjoyed crocheting, sewing, savoring sweet tea, and treating herself to her favorite meals from Taco Bell. Diamond loved watching classic television, especially 90s sitcoms from the 80s era, including The Golden Girls, which brought her joy and comfort. She will be remembered for her sweet, innocent grin and thoughtful, caring nature. Diamond had a special way of staying connected with the people she loved—often making random phone calls just to check in and see how someone was doing. These simple yet heartfelt gestures left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Diamond was a proud 2013 graduate of Mansfield Senior High School. She leaves to cherish her memory her loving mother, Keshi Davis, and father, Ken (Shauntawn) Redmond; her aunt, Nakita Johns; her uncles, David (Carla) Bonds, Emmanuel (Nneka) Bonds and Trent Redmond; her great-aunt, Michelle (Tyrone) Lindsay; her special cousin, Tyrice Taylor (Ti’ondra); her special friend, Cheryl Allen; and Frank “Knotty” Sutton, who was like a father figure, assisted in her upbringing, and was a major influence in her giving her life to Christ; along with many other cousins, extended family members, and loved ones. Diamond was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Richard “Ricky” Jackson; her maternal grandmother, Mariah Ann Bonds; her maternal great-grandmother, Lou Transou; her maternal great-grandfather, Spearman Transou; her great-grandmother, Cora McCruter James; her great-grandfather, George Duncan; her paternal grandmother, Delores Cosby-Redmond; and her paternal grandfather, Walter H. Redmond. A homegoing service will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 12:00 PM, with one hour of visitation prior, at Small’s Funeral Services, 326 Park Ave. W., Mansfield, Ohio. Though Diamond’s time here was far too short, the love she gave and the light she shared will forever live in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. The family has entrusted Small’s Funeral Services with the arrangements.
