Diane Wagner

On Sunday December 22, 2024, the life of Diane Wagner was completed. Sadness abounds as her presence leaves us. Joy, however, envelops, as her family and friends remember the delightful person born on March 20, 1943 as Diane Hoover. The gift of Diane was brought to us all by her Mother Dorothy (Christie) Hoover, and her father Edward Hoover. She was the third of six children. Diane attended Rosary Cathedral for elementary school then graduated from Central Catholic HS in 1961. School was easy for her as noted by her sister Dottie, who envied the fact she could get such high marks, without lifting a book. Diane was reared in faith by God the Father, guided through life by the teachings of Jesus Christ, and thrived through the strength of the Holy Spirit. Shortly after high school Diane met and married Michael Wagner on June 1, 1962 with whom she loved and partnered so well. At the peak of Dianes life she measured 411. People would quickly realize her stature was in direct yet opposite proportion to her wit, and charm. It was very rare to get the last laugh on Diane, she was just too sharp. Those who knew that best, sat beside her at the poker table.
