Ron enjoyed riding to Grand Rapids with her and max. Very kind lady. Rest In Peace Diane and prayers for the family
Losing a cousin can be an incredibly painful experience. Not only are cousins close relatives, but often our first true friend. Haven't seen Diane in many years, but still very saddened. Much sympathy. Shari
Diane was the "best" babysitter! From the time Dan & I left we knew exactly what & when she had fed, changed, bathed & put each one of our three to bed. She wrote everything down with the time added. The perfect Nurse before she even became one! Love to all who loved her!
So sorry, may she rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. God bless.❤️🙏🏻 Stephanie Cole Armstrong
My Aunt Diane was a unique and special person. Her faith, her hope, her positivity, her belief that we are all God's children, each on a special mission to love and support each other on this journey through life. I was always amazed by her resilience and patience. She judged no one. She always had words of encouragement and some funny stories to boot. My heart aches for our loss, but is inspired and uplifted by Diane's spirit. She was with me since day one, and I know she always will be. I love you Aunt Diane! You are a light in mine and everyone's life who knew you.
I would like to say a few remarks about Diane Stout: to the very end, facing death, Diane was brave, courageous, and even harlequin - like in her life, she was guided by her faith and by the holy spirit - to her very last breath. She often said that God was with her and leading her through her trials and tribulations, even in death she was clearly eased by God into her reward, another better life. So here was one of those lives that was truly noble and full of dignity, who asked questions, pondered answers, showed spunk, yes, sometimes, even a salubrious defiance; and so she remained true and loyal to her God and to her convictions.

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Brigham Funeral Chapel - Lakeview
