Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 11, 2025.
Diane Kay Rauner (née Dahl), 79, passed away on February 5, 2025, in Duluth, Minnesota.

Born on July 13, 1945, in Minneapolis Minnesota, Diane lived a life filled with warmth and generosity. Known for her boundless holiday spirit, Diane cherished the joy and togetherness the holidays brought. She had a passion for bringing people together, whether through her love of cooking, planning and hosting gatherings, or crafting heartfelt cards for those she cared about. Her kindness and thoughtfulness touched many lives, and she will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Diane is survived by Lisa and Peter Vono; Jason and Melissa Rauner; Mark Rauner and Rachel Webber. Also, her siblings; Ron, Sandy, Shirley, Tami and many sister and brother-in-laws, nieces and nephews. She was a cherished grandmother to Stacy Vono, Toni Vono, Lucas Rauner, Ainsley Rauner, Jacob Rauner, and Elijah Rauner. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, David Rauner; her sister, Debbie Sears; her brother, Steve Dahl; and her parents, Helen and Vern Dahl.

Her deep love for family and friends, combined with her remarkable ability to bring joy to both everyday moments and special celebrations, will be fondly remembered by all whose lives she touched. A celebration of her life will be organized.

What I remember most is that all those Dahl girls were quick to laugh & giggle. Always a good sense of humor!

My mother Ruby Gray (Vern Dahl´s sister) started calling Diane on a regular basis to find out about Diane´s family & all her extended family. Diane was always patient & always answered her phone calls.

May Diane rest in peace!

Stephanie Parsons, Diane´s cousin.
