We are saddened to announce the death of our mother Carolin Dian Kreis. Dian passed away peacefully on January 5th, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. She very much loved her kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren to the moon and back. She had a love for sunsets and found peace in life’s quiet moments watching sunsets. She is now celebrating in heaven with her loved ones.
Dian was cremated and will be reunited with her husband Wes in a private burial. The family appreciates your thoughts, prayers and for sharing all the great memories. She was truly blessed to be loved by so many. Thank you- Carrie, Eric, Johnny and Kenny.
