Diane M. Heidenreich

Diane M. Heidenreich passed away Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness and unwavering devotion to those she held dear.

Diane was a loving and devoted mother whose greatest joy in life was her three children and her grandchildren. Her warmth, encouragement and unshakable support were constants in their lives and she celebrated every milestone, big or small, with pride and joy. She extended that same love to her extended family, always showing up with an open heart, a listening ear and an amazing sense of humor. Diane was the beloved daughter of Walter and Audrey Heidenreich and one of six siblings in a close-knit family. Her early years were filled with love, laughter and the bonds that would shape a life rooted in faith and connection. She was a proud graduate of Delphos Jefferson High School, Class of 1968.

Diane found great joy singing in the church choir and performing in local musical theater productions. She also loved baking and she loved to share her kitchen creations with friends and family.

Professionally, Diane took great pride in her work at Vision First, where she served diligently in the accounts payable department for more than 23 years. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence were matched only by the kindness and professionalism she brought to the workplace.

Diane's life was one of deep love, kindness and laughter. Her memory will live on in the lives she touched - with every song sung, every story told, laugh shared and every recipe passed down.

Diane is survived by her three children, Jarred (Diana), Jennifer (Larnelle) and Michelle; three grandchildren, Tyler, Harley and Leilani; five siblings, Christine, Ronald, Cynthia, Claudia and Christopher); and a multitude of beloved nieces and nephews. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

In keeping with Diane's wishes, there will be no public service. If you'd like to honor her memory, please consider a donation to the American Stroke Foundation in her name or simply take a moment to bake something sweet and share it with someone you love - just as Diane would have.
