Diane S. Weber

Diane Selma Weber (Haczynski), age 87 of Appleton, WI passed away on November 30, 2023.  She was born to Frank and Josephine (Benedyk) Haczynski on August 21, 1936 in Green Bay, WI.  She graduated valedictorian from Brillion High School with the class of ’54 and went on to become a Librarian Aid for the AASD most of her life.  She married the love of her life, Russell Weber in October of 1957 and together, they lovingly raised 4 wonderful children. 

Diane was a strong-willed, independent, and hard-working woman her whole life.  She had a deep love for gardening and cooking, always providing for her family.  She appreciated a nice, neat, and organized home and always maintained hers to be so.  Before her arthritis, you could often find Diane out in the community, walking, biking, or just remaining active.  She was a proud Polish woman and played accordion in a Polka band.  Diane loved the Lord with all her heart, but always made sure to keep plenty of extra room in her heart for her family.  She loved her family above all else and was so proud of the children and grandchildren she helped raise. 

Diane is survived by her children, Gary (Nancy) Weber, Laurie (Scott) Ermers, Brenda (Tom) Meiers, and Chris (Jeff) Oswald; her grandchildren, Michelle (Mitchell) White, Jessica (Patrick) Boettcher, Megan (Kris) Rameker, Kelyn (Erik) Kasten, Trevor (Bethany) Ermers, Brittany (Tony) Franciosi, Jon (Paige) Meiers, Katie Oswald, Courtney Oswald, and Sam Oswald; her 10 great-grandchildren with 1 more on the way; her sister, Sharon Haczynski; as well as many nieces, nephews, other extended relatives, and dear friends.

Diane is preceded in death by her husband, Russell Weber; and her sister, Karen (Rodger) Mueller.

Superior St, Appleton, WI 54911 with a funeral service to follow at 11 AM.  Diane will be laid to rest at Riverside Cemetery in Appleton, WI with beloved husband, Russell.  In lieu of flowers, please consider honoring Diane’s love of gardening by planting something green in her memory.
