Diane Haupt Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 3, 2025.
Diane Carol Haupt passed away on April 26, 2025, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Born on July 15, 1947, Diane lived a life marked by resilience, determination, and vibrant energy.

As a young parent to three daughters, Diane faced challenges with dedication. Determined to provide for her family, she earned a degree in hairstyling and thrived in the field. Her talent and hard work allowed her to build a career that supported their growing family.

Later in life, Diane embraced change with courage and enthusiasm by returning to school to earn an associate degree in counseling. This new path reflected their natural gift for connecting with others. Known as a social butterfly, Diane brought warmth and joy into every interaction, qualities that made her transition into counseling both fitting and impactful.

Those who knew Diane will remember her spirited personality. May her memory bring comfort to all who were touched by her. She is survived by her sister Sandra Allan and her three daughters Lhea, Kim and Heather.

Dear Lhea, Kim and Heather, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I will always remember her sweet voice, sense of fashion and so much more.
She gave me the best Christmas gift when I was 10 years old - a giant Hershey bar.

Hello, Mother
I've missed hearing your voice, you called me on the tele near every day. I ask myself " How will I adjust without my mother, it's been difficult, losing Mother in such a....short time. I was not ready to lose mom. I have so much more to tell, I lost the opportunity to discuss with mom, what I have learned about life. What mom helped me with, helped me navigate a complex situation, I didn't get the chance to say " thank you mom, for listening, you made a difference in my life, by just listening"
I miss you so much, mom. Not a day, not a moment's goes by, I'm not thinking of you, and our time together, we try to sort out what life throws at us. I think by thinking about you, mom; that you will be at my side , listening....

With the wind we find solace
With the wind we feel free
Remembering all the memories
With the wind, we shall be.


So sorry for Diane´s passing.
I did not know her well, but I´ve heard lots of stories. I do know she left three incredible daughters behind. All fantastic in their own ways. All three of them.
