Diane Newland, born on April 4, 1956, peacefully passed away on January 18, 2024. A beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, Diane's kindness and willingness to help others will be forever remembered by those who knew her.

She is survived by her adoring daughter, Heather Newland, and her cherished granddaughter, Bayleigh Kelly. Diane was predeceased by her dear mother, Marvalene Rowlett, and her beloved spouse, Antonio Cruz, who was also her best friend. The joy she found in their company must surely be matched by the joy of their reunion.

Professionally, Diane dedicated her talents to the Beloit Corporation, starting her tenure there in 1990. Her work ethic was admirable, and she saw every challenge as an opportunity for growth.

A lover of all Arts, Diane found comfort in the escapism of Nora Roberts' books, the heartful storytelling of country music, and the intricate beauty of diamond painting. She was a true bear fan, always cheering for the Chicago Bears, and found amusement in mobile games like Candy Crush and Bubble Pop.

Diane cherished her recreational activities, which variably included doing puzzles with her once fiancé, indulging in diamond arts, spending time with her adorable pets, and making sweet memories with her granddaughter. These were the simple, joyful moments that made her life full and rich.

In remembrance of Diane and her love for helping others, a fund is being raised for her cremation: "Help with my mom's cremation". Contributions can be made at https://everloved.com/life-of…. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Diane will be genuinely missed, but the beautiful memories she's left behind will always bring warmth to our hearts. Her spirit of generosity, love for her family, and zest for life are the legacies that will continue to inspire us. May she rest in peace, reunited with her beloved ones, and forever in our hearts.
