Diane was born May 7, 1943, in Omaha to Don and Regina ‘Raabe’ Schroeder. Diane spent many years as a hairdresser in Fremont. She loved the Nebraska Cornhuskers, traveling when she was able, seeing her loved ones, playing on her iPad, reading her Amish books and the Bible. She loved sharing her love of Jesus with everyone around her and showing them the wonderful impact He’s had in her life. Her smile and sense of humor brought happiness to those around her.
