Wanda Diane Rynearson, lovingly known as Diane to her friends and family, passed away in Lexington, KY, on March 25, 2025, at the age of 69. Born in Madison County, KY, on January 22, 1956, Diane was a beacon of love and care to all who knew her.
Diane was born to Herbert Kaylor and Pauline Marcum Poole, both of whom predeceased her. She shared her life journey with her beloved spouse, Jerry Rynearson, and her children, Chad Brandenburg, Danny Rynearson, and Christina Lopez. Her warmth extended to her three grandchildren. Diane was the sister to Charles (Jewell) Kaylor. She was predeceased by siblings William, Ricky, Jimmy Kaylor, and Melissa Kaylor.
Professionally, Diane dedicated her life to caregiving, pouring her compassionate spirit into every responsibility she undertook. Diane was a member of Wayside Church, where her faith and fellowship enriched her life. Her green thumb was evident in the beautiful flowers she planted, and anyone visiting her home would surely be greeted by her adored dog, Charlie.
Diane's legacy is that of a loving heart, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the fortune of knowing her. Her nurturing presence, reflected in every aspect of her life, will be remembered fondly.
A memorial service will be held at Lakes Funeral Home on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 2pm with Pastor Ken Felty officiating. Family will accept friends starting at 1pm Saturday. Condolences may be left at www.lakesfuneralhome.com
