Zabrowski, Diane Edith (Nee Vlach ), Age 72, fell peacefully asleep for the final time on March 11, 2016, surrounded by family and the gospel music of Elvis Presley. Diane was born in 1943 on a farm in Rib Lake Wisconsin, the youngest of four daughters born to Fred and Irma Vlach. She attended Rib Lake High School where she had the honor of being Prom Queen. After graduation, she moved to Milwaukee to work at Allen Bradley where she met her husband, Eugene. Together they raised their two children, Pam and Tony. Many people will remember her smiling face as manager of Whitnall Park Golf Clubhouse. Diane also worked at Milwaukee County Zoo gift shop until her retirement. The people who will miss her greatly but forever keep her in their hearts include her husband, Eugene; daughter, Pamela (Peter) Mark; son, Tony (Tracy) Zabrowski; grandchildren, Rachal, Sara, Hannah, Alexis, and Trevor; sister, Janet Kane along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

I have SO many fun memories of your mom, all of them include her laughing. When her and my mom went to funerals together they would end up in the bathroom laughing together. Your mom told my mom she would wink at her at her own funeral if she went first. I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a VERY special lady.
