Diane King Obituary
Diane is lovingly remembered by her children, John King (Reese) of Waterford, Michigan, and Stephanie Riegle (Kevin) of Saline, Michigan. She also leaves behind her cherished grandson, Kenny. Diane's sister, Nancy Beaman (Wolnik) of Missouri City, Texas, survives her as well, along with nieces Lauren and Lindsey Beaman and nephews Kevin and Keith Wolnik; and sister-in-law Charlene Wolnik of Libertyville, Illinois.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Walter Wolnik (2001) and Estelle Wolnik (2003), both of Skokie, Illinois; her brothers Wayne Wolnik (2017) of Libertyville, Illinois and Ronald Wolnik (1970) of Skokie, Illinois. Diane also held a special place in her heart for her beloved fur babies, Lilly and Aggie, who have also passed.
Diane's legacy is one of courage, love, and determination. Her memory will continue to inspire those who knew her and bring comfort to the many lives she touched.

So sorry to learn of Diane´s passing. We unfortunately lost touch some years back but we made some great memories during high school and after; Diane stood up in my wedding. She and her entire family were a special part of my teens and early adulthood and I send my sympathies to all. Sue Koepke Carey.

Diane and I were friends from St. Pete´s and in the neighborhood. We lived a block away from each other. Although, I had not seen here since high school, I remember her fondly.
I send my condolences.
