I have been looking for Diane for several years hoping to talk her into holding painting classes again and was shocked to find that she had passed. She was a joy to be around and learn from. She inspired me and many others to start painting. Sorry for the families loss.

Jan and family, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I never had the pleasure of knowing Diane but I'm well aware of how beloved she was in your family and among her friends. Hoping your heart will heal soon with God's love.

I had the great pleasure to work with Diane for many years. She and I both started the exact same day at Iowa Electric (now Alliant) on March 31, 1981. We enjoyed each other’s company both at work and away. She was a generous and giving person. She helped me make all my silk flower arrangements for my wedding in 1982. I also have some of her pastels that I commissioned her to do of my grandparent’s farm. I treasure them and proudly display them in my home.
Diane was a kind person that had many talents, she will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Diane and I worked together at DAEC many years ago and I am proud to have a couple of her beautiful paintings in my home. She was a very kind and generous person. My deepest sympathy to all her family members.
