Diane Schneider

Diane Schneider, age 79, passed away peacefully on Nov. 8, 2023, at the Harbor Club of Port Washington.

She was born on April 8, 1944, in Park Falls to Casey and Dorothy Novak (nee Pease).

Diane grew up in Ladysmith, Wis., and graduated from Ladysmith High School.

Throughout her life, Diane touched the lives of many through her witty and strong-willed personality.

Diane shared her deep faith by attending bible study and services at Friedens Church in Port Washington.

She enjoyed playing solitaire and listening to audiobooks and was known for her love of fashion, always making sure her nails were done and her hair was fixed.

Diane owned a dress boutique in Kiel, Wis., from 1968 to 1971. She became a district manager at Fashion Bug many years later. Style and fashion were definitely her forte.

After retiring from retail, she became an activity director at Heritage Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Port Washington.

Diane’s legacy lives on through her loving family. She will be dearly missed by her children Shannon, Sandy and Scot, her grandchildren Austyn, Blaine and Kendra and many others. She is further survived by her brother Randy Novak (Cathy).

Diane will be remembered for her spirit of adventure, her love for travel and her love of life that she shared with everyone around her. She will be deeply missed but forever in our hearts.

The family would like to extend its sincerest gratitude to Harbor Club and Lily Hospice for their kindness and care throughout her journey.

To honor and celebrate Diane, a celebration of life will be held on Sunday, Dec. 10, from 1 to 4 p.m. at The Patio, 601 N. Wisconsin St., Port Washington, WI  53074.

Eernisse Funeral Home, Port Washington, is honored to serve the family.
