In 1965, Graves Stai was a single mother living in Abilene.[2] She married Jean H. Owen in 1969 and together they co-founded the company Owen Healthcare, Inc.[3] She also held roles as secretary and bookkeeper for an oil company and contractor for hospital pharmacies.[4]

After her husband died in a plane crash, she took over the company as chairman in 1979.[5] When she took over the company, it was in financial trouble and family members encouraged her to sell it. Graves Stai refused and she ended the year by signing new contracts with 22 new hospitals.[1]

Graves Stai stayed in her role as Chairwoman of the Dian Graves Owen Foundation for 19 years, before retiring in 2012.[8] In 2016, she was inducted into the Texas Business Hall of Fame.[2]
