Diane Carol Wiesinger, 79, passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 31 in her home in Columbia,
Tennessee.
Diane was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on December 2, 1942 to Frank Wink and Dora (Olm) Wink. She
graduated from Bayview High in 1961 and loved going up to northern Wisconsin especially Waupaca and
Casey Lake and passed that love on to her own family later in life. She met her husband Robert William
Wiesinger and they married November 23, 1963. They were married 54 years before he passed away.
She had their two sons Brian and Jeff while living in Milwaukee. They moved to Phoenix,Arizona where
she was employed at the Desert Rose Motel and served as a switchboard operator and waitress in the
motel restaurant. She loved working with people and became friends with many of the winter residents
of the hotel throughout her life. In retirement, she moved to Columbia, Tennessee where “Granny” was
able to indulge her love of watching football, especially the Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans,
and tennis.
She loved spoiling her children and grandchildren by providing their favorite treats whenever they came
to visit, and she was quick to want to go out to eat or get takeout and wanted everyone to be happy
with what they got. She was extremely generous and always wanted to know where everyone was and if
they were safe and doing well which made her happy.
She was preceded in death by both of her parents and her husband. She is survived by her sons Brian
(Kim) and Jeff (Darlene), her 6 grandchildren, Madison, Allana, Rebecca, Mylee (Braden), Maci, and
Brady as well as her brother Gary.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday November 20 th at 4pm at the Heritage Funeral Home at 609
Bear Creek Pike, Columbia, TN 38401. There will be a visitation time to meet with family at 3pm
beforehand and a dinner immediately following the service. We invite you to join us in remembering our
mom and Granny, who was dearly loved.
