Diane Stober Obituary

Diane Stober
January 30, 1950 - December 8, 2025
Diane Marie Stober was born in Spokane, WA, January 30, 1950, to her parents Alice and Harley Stober. Diane passed away December 8, 2025 in Wenatchee, WA.
She had one half-brother, Eugene, that was 18 when she was born.
She is survived by one cousin from the Mott side, Betty Baker, and her family.
Diane went to Shadle Park High School in Spokane, then Pacific Lutheran University for college where she was in the Choir of the West.
She moved to Wenatchee and started her music career teaching piano lessons to many students. She also joined in the Columbia Chorale.
Diane loved working with her piano students and was proud of being in the choirs.
During her years of teaching, she was in the Wenatchee Chapter of the Washington State Music Teachers' Association.
She enjoyed attending the Brethren Baptist Church and Pastor Mike Rumely-Wells' services.
Diane also loved little dogs. A few years ago, she had to take her beloved Doxie to doggie heaven.
Before she passed, she told one of her former students Nicole Benoit, living in New York today, that she wanted her to come sing at her funeral. Nicole is hoping to come sing at the memorial.
Diane had a lot of friends from church, singing, and teaching here in the Wenatchee community and will be missed by many. There will be a memorial service for her by Pastor James at the Grace Lutheran Church on February 14, 2026, at 2 p.m.
We would love for you to come and honor her by sharing your memories. At the memorial, we would like to thank Diane for her contributions to the community and accept donations in her memory for the Columbia Chorale.
We hope to see you on the 14th of February to honor her memory.
