Obituary:
Diane Lynn Nimtz, 52. With her two dogs at her side, Diane Lynn Nimtz (nee Gerrits) was born into eternal life on the morning of Thursday, April 23, 2015.
Born in Appleton, Wisconsin on May 4, 1962, she was the daughter of the late Gladys (Lamers) and Leo Gerrits, whom she now is reunited with.
Diane is survived by her husband Patrick Nimtz of Hartford; daughter, Kayla Duffy of Milwaukee; son, Kevin Duffy (Karleissa Rogacheski) of Milwaukee; siblings Ronald (Debbie) Gerrits of Appleton; Sandra (Michael) Bodwin of Sturtevant; Dennis (Abby) Gerrits of Chicago; and Karen Liethen (Brett Jacobs) of Appleton; aunt, Carol (Bob) Dorsey; countless friends who have been touched by her life; and of course, her two dogs, Roscoe and Chena.
Diane spent her years working as a nurse, where she dedicated herself to the needs and comforts of her patients. Coworkers will remember her for her hardworking spirit and sweet nature. Diane will always be remembered as a loving woman who was in every sense of the word, a nurturer-from her profession to the love and dedication she showed towards her husband and two children, and the kindness she showed to the pet rabbits, birds, cats, and dogs who have come and gone throughout her life. While Diane's love for her family and "fur babies" will never be forgotten, she will also be remembered for her passion with interior design and her love of nature through camping, biking, sitting outside to watch thunderstorms roll in, and of course, being an avid gardener who greeted springtime with excitement as she planned out what she would be planting that season. Diane lived with Diabetes for fifty years. While Diane's life was cut tragically short, she will continue to live on through her children and her loved ones, whose memories of Diane have now become the most sacred of treasures.
Visitation for Diane will be from 1 -3 p.m. on Friday, May 1, 2015, at Shimon Funeral Home, 824 Union St, Hartford, WI with a Catholic prayer service at 3 p.m., officiated by Fr. David of St. Kilian Parish.
