Diane D. Pound, age 71, of Larsen, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 6, 2022, in Neenah, where she was a resident at Valley VNA Senior Care. She was born on December 16, 1950 in New London, WI, the daughter of the late Carsten and Milda (Engel) Heuer. Diane and her twin sister, Donna were raised and cared for by the late Erwin and Myrtle Metzig, who brought them home when they were 10 days old following the death of their mother Milda. Diane was baptized and confirmed at St. Peter Ev. Lutheran Church in Larsen.
In 1969, Diane graduated from Winneconne High School and began working at AAL (Thrivent) in Appleton for over 30 years. On September 17, 1977 Diane married Richard Pound at St. Peter Ev.

Following her retirement from Thrivent, Diane worked at Walmart in the Optical Department and then at the Neuschafer Public Library in Fremont where she helped with the children's programs, worked at the front desk, and helped with fundraisers until her health caused her to retire.
Diane loved spending time outdoors whether it was walking, golfing, fishing, swimming, ice skating or cross country skiing. She also enjoyed traveling, growing her large garden at her home and enjoying the sunsets by the home on Lake Poygan. She was an excellent cook and baker and enjoyed entertaining friends and family.
