Diane Louise Klima entered into rest on Thursday April 18, 2024, at the age of 68. Preceded in death by beloved husband Richard Klima as well as Ruby and Albert Fletcher, who were more like parents than grandparents. Survived by cherished son Christopher (Kelly) Klima; blessed grandchildren Eldon, Elizabeth, Aiden, and Alexandria Klima; treasured cousin Zak Zych; and many dear friends.
Diane graduated Cleveland High School, class of 1973, before furthering her education at Fontbonne University where she earned her MBA. Diane then went on to work for SSM for over 35 years before retiring. In addition to her commitment to her career, Diane was dedicated to her family, faith, and her community. She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church for many years and was a former Scout Leader at Salem Lutheran. In her free time, Diane enjoyed hobbies such as crafting and traveling. But her biggest enjoyment was spending time with her grandchildren, who will remember her as a loving Nana for years to come.
