I met Dianne through the singles group at Life Center. She shared lots of fun times and I have great memories of those times. Rest in peace Dianne. My thoughts and prayers are with Bob and the family at this time.

I am very sad to hear of Miss Dianne's (as my daughter and nephew would call her) passing. She was one of the cubbie awana teachers at the Portland Avenue Church my children attended on Wednesday nights. I had the pleasure of participating in the classroom with her, and she was so wonderful to the children. She took pictures of the children in the class and although we did not attend the following year, she was very thoughtful in sending my daughter and nephew a photo album with pictures of themselves! Such a sweet lady, she will truly be missed.

Diane will be deeply missed. She invited us to her home several times for different occasions and we felt so blessed to be a part of her loving family. We also know that she is in our heavenly home because of her relationship with Christ and we know we will see her again. Until then we will all cherish the memories and blessings of our good times together. May God bring comfort, peace and love to all of us who are hurting from our loss of Dianne.

Dianne and I are cousins, and we were as close as sisters growing up in Tacoma and Parkland. We had lots of sleep overs,camping trips, and shared secrets, and probably drove Dianne's brothers Mike and Dennis crazy. The Knutsen house was like a second home to my sister, Pam, and me. Her loss will be felt by so many friends and relatives, and my family sends our thoughts and best wishes to all who knew her. The attached picture is of Dianne (brown curls and bigger Easter bunny) and me, taken on Easter Sunday, 1944 at our Grandmother's house in Parkland. Neither of us have aged much since the photo was taken!

Dianne married my brother-in-law, Bob, some time after my sister, Peggy, had passed away. Dianne and I became friendly and shared friendship over the miles, and over the 7 years she and Bob were married. I will miss her friendship. Too soon gone....

Dianne and I graduated from Wilson in 1960. I reconnected with her at Life Center in the Singles class. Another classmate and I went to her Surprise 60th Birthday party in 2002 on March 2nd at a Pizza place. It was fun. We all went to our 40th High School Reunion together. When she got married again, I lost touch with her. I looked for her at our 45th Reunion and our 50th Reunion last August but she wasn't there...I was hoping to see her! I will look forward to seeing her again some day...a reunion in heaven.

I first met Dianne back in the 1980's at Tacoma's Life Center Church. We were both in the adult singles (SOLO) sunday school class. Over the years we shared many adventures & lots of laughs. I'm so grateful for the phone conversation we had last Monday (1-17-11)...I had no clue it would be the last time. Dianne will be greatly missed by her family and friends...until that great re-union in Heaven.

Dianne is my cousin. It's so hard to think of a "playmate" as being gone. I was raised in Seattle, so we didn't get to see each other often enough but enjoyed the time we did have. In our adult life, my strongest memories are of us sharing our faith in Jesus.
