Dianne (Dee)'s obituary
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved daughter, sister, aunt, sister-in-law, and niece, Dianne (Dee) Schlaudraff, who left us on February 20, 2024. Dee was born on February 8, 1964, and throughout her 60 years, she brought light and joy to everyone she encountered.
Dee leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. She is survived by her loving father, Art; her devoted brother, Mark; her caring sister-in-law, Deanna; and her adored niece, Samantha.
To Dee, Samantha, affectionately known as Sammie Sam, was more than just a niece; she was the apple of her eye.
Dee was known as DeeDee or DeeDeeJoe by her Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.
Dee had a passion for life that was infectious, and everyone who knew her knew how much she loved going to yard sales.
She found immense joy in the simple pleasures, from her love of Grumpy from Disney to her affection for bears. Dee’s spirit was as vibrant as her laughter; her memory will forever live on in our hearts.
Many knew Dee (Dynamite Deed) as a skilled Cowboy Action Shooter, SASS# 61645. Her talent was unmatched, and she graced the podium with countless 1st place victories in her category.
As we mourn the loss of our dear Dee, let us also celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the love she shared with each of us. She may be gone from our sight, but she will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, dear Dee.
You will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
