Dianne Hoback, a devoted homemaker and cherished matriarch, passed away peacefully on December 5, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky, surrounded by her beloved husband, Bobby, and devoted family. Dianne was born on July 2, 1942, in Louisville, KY, then moved to Laconia where she met the love of her life Bobby Hoback, together they moved to Clarksville IN, where she carried the warmth of that vibrant city with her throughout her life.
A proud graduate of South-Central High School, Dianne was known for her unwavering dedication to her family. She worked lovingly and diligently as a homemaker, providing a safe and comfortable home for her husband, children, and grandchildren. Her infectious spirit and nurturing nature made her a loyal wife, a loving mother, and an affectionate grandmother and great-grandmother. Dianne exemplified compassion, honesty, and an incredible work ethic, always putting the needs of others before her own.
Throughout her life, Dianne embraced her passions with enthusiasm. She was a devout member of First Southern Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday school and lifted her voice to God in the choir. Dianne found joy in shopping, bowling, cooking, sewing, playing softball and working on puzzles. Her love for her family was evident in every moment spent weather enjoying lively conversation together or bonding over watching IU games. Dianne was delighted to be a part of her red hat club and TOPS group, where she formed lasting friendships, and her enthusiasm for life was reflected in her fun-loving hobbies and interests.
