Diann L. Hoagland
RURAL ALEXANDER, IL - Diann L. Hoagland, 54, of rural Alexander died Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at her residence.
She was born March 1, 1956 in Jackson, MI; the daughter of Thomas Eugene and Frances Marie Burch Smith. She married Harold "Butch" Hoagland Jr. on September 10, 1977 in Virden, IL and he survives.
She is also survived by her parents of Virden; four children, Dewaine E. Hoagland (wife, April) of Auburn, Danny Hoagland (girlfriend, Megan Sagrecy) of Springfield, KY, Mary D. Krispinsky (husband, Dr. Luke) of Suffolk, VA, and Thomas E. Hoagland (wife, Lori) of Jacksonville; seven grandchildren, Sabrina S.

Mrs. Hoagland attended Divernon schools and graduated from Virden High School and Lincoln Land Community College. She was employed briefly as a computer technician for Memorial Medical Center in Springfield prior to devoting several years at home raising their children. She rejoined the workforce for the past 20+ years at Farm Business Farm Management in Springfield. She was a devoted member of Berea Christian Church where she served as the youth pastor. Diann attended several Women of Faith conferences. For many years, she was a dedicated volunteer band parent with the A-C Central Marching Band and numerous other children's activities. Diann also organized several fundraising events to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. In recent years, she spent her spare time enjoying her grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held 11:00 AM Monday on the grounds of Berea Christian Church, south of Prentice with burial at Berea Cemetery, adjacent to the church. The family will meet friends from 2:00 to 5:00 PM Sunday at the Buchanan & Cody Funeral Home in Ashland.

To my little Sister,
Apparently Jesus needed you more than we all do. He must need you for something very special, because this has left a hole in me that I have yet to figure out how to fill.

To the Hoagland family,
Please except my heartfelt condolences related to this tragic event. Please know that the community here in Prentice feels a tremondous sense of grief and shock for your loss. I did not know Diann personally, but after having read all of these on-line condolences and testimonials, I wished I had, as she was clearly a much loved and respected individual who left this world a better place. Perhaps the following quotation can provide you with some solace...
"The soul takes flight to the world that is unseen, and arriving there is in bliss and dwells forever in paradise".
I will continue to keep all you, as well as Diann's friends and those within the Berea community in my prayers and hope that here on earth there will be justice.
God speed Diann Hoagland

Words cannot express the sorrrow we feel over the loss of Diann. Even though we haven't had much contact in the last several years her Christ like presence the short time she spent with us made a great impression on us all. All those who knew Diann are feeling a tremendous loss. If we have any comfort it is in knowing she now shares Heaven with her lord. Our prayers go out to Butch and his family. May God be with you in the upcoming days to strengthen you and help you through this most difficult time. God Bless You Terry & Karen Blakeman and family

Butch and family,
The shock and grief I felt when I was told about Diann was painful beyond words. I know how much you, your children, grandchildren, extended family and friends are suffering with grief over her loss. Anyone who truly knew Diann also feels your pain; for you know, the pain is real!
I always enjoyed working with Diann at the office and on the farm visits while an FBFM fieldman. She could defuse any troubling situation with her common sense, witty humor, and optimistic outlook on life. She would just glow when talking about her kids and the grandkids. Diann was my favorite person to talk about just living life in general. She touched my life with nine years of happy memories while just getting to know her. I'll always treasure her friendship!
I don't have the emotional strength to personally deliver my condolences to you and all your family members at the visitation. I know myself too well! My throat would tighten and the tears would run. I would try to speak but the right words won't find their way out of my mouth. This isn't the memory I want and is certainly not the peace of mind we're all looking for at this time.
I could go on and on writing about the wonderful person Diann Hoagland was on earth! Can you just imagine how awesome her spirit will be in the eternal life! Heaven's new angel has stepped up to the big leagues and will no doubt be their grand slam hitter!
Love and peace to you all!
Robert & Joy Komnick
