Diane was born in Sheboygan on April 1, 1940 to the late Edgar and Helen (Thiel) Mercier. On June 13, 1959, Diane married Robert Yancey and they recently celebrated fifty years of marriage.

Diane was talented at knitting, crocheting, needle work, sewing and cooking. Skills she attempted, with varying levels of success, to pass on to her two daughters. There was a special spot in Diane’s heart for animals and in fact no stray was ever turned away from Diane’s door. Diane is survived by her husband, Bob; two daughters, Wendy ( Mike) Gilley and Kristel (Ray) Hawley; four grandchildren, Kalyn (Seth) Stephens, Cole Ward, Amanda Hawley and Shannon Hawley; one great-grandson, Emmanuel Havens; brother, Wayne (Ruth) Mercier; brother-in-law, Russell (Doris) Yancey; and many other relatives and friends.
