She was born December 29, 1953 to Henry & Nell Peitzmeier. She was raised in the Catholic church, graduated from Logan View High School and earned an Associate’s degree in Business from Lincoln School of Commerce.
On January 17, 1976, she married Kevin Hasemann. They made their home on a farm north of Scribner for 45 years prior to moving to Fremont. She was a banker with the Scribner Bank for 28 years. In her retirement, she enjoyed sewing and worked part-time at Black Tie White Satin. She used her love of sewing to create thousands of doll outfits which she sold at craft fairs. Diane never met a stranger and loved connecting with people.
Diane was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church where she taught Sunday School for 25 years and served on the Altar Guild and Endowment Committee. She was very involved in the Scribner community. She served on the Scribner Chamber of Commerce board of directors and was president for two terms. The Chamber named her Chamber Citizen of the Year. She volunteered with the Scribner Softball Association where she coached and spent hours popping countless bags of popcorn. She was also involved in Friends of the Scribner Library where she used her creativity to design dozens of Tannenbaum Festival Christmas trees. She gave her time to the Scribner Good Samaritan Center and was proud of her work with Project Love and enjoyed volunteering for the Scribner-Snyder FCCLA where she mentored youth and helped bake and decorate thousands of Valentine cookies.
Diane was in her element cheering on her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed spending time with Kevin and their friends at Cottonwood Cove in Blair and often shared that there is nothing she would rather do than spend time with her girls.
Diane lived her life by the Erma Bombeck adage: “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.”
Diane is survived by her husband (Kevin), four daughters Cindy (Steve) Slykhuis of Arlington, Kelly (Larry) Mills of Ashland, Mindy (David) Purvis of Lincoln and Laura (Sean) Stoner of Omaha and nine grandchildren: Brooke, Justin & Jenna Mills, Winston & Oliver Slykhuis, Christopher & Jackson Purvis and Lydia & Murray Stoner, two sisters, Jolene (Gary) Stromquist and Janet (Paul) Kai and in-laws Connie Hasemann, Carroll & Mary Hasemann, Ken & Sandy Hasemann, Lisa & John Stockamp, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Henry & Nell, father- and mother-in-law, Junior & Gladys Hasemann, and brother-in-law, Keith Hasemann.
