Diane Rosenow of Kimball died Monday, April 3, 2023, at Quiet Oaks Hospice House in St. Augusta. She was 74.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, at the Rosenow family farm in Kimball.
Diane Mary Kunkel was born July 17, 1948, in Kimball to Vincent and Leona (Potthoff) Kunkel. She grew up in Kimball where she graduated with the Class of 1966. Diane furthered her education at St. Cloud State University. On Nov. 28, 1968, Diane was united in marriage to Michael Rosenow at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Pearl Lake. Together they raised their two children in Kimball. Diane worked as a dental assistant at River City Dental where she devoted 52 years to her colleagues and generations of patients. Diane was an avid gardener; her gardens blossomed with an abundance of different flowers. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, and she could visit for hours. She had a great sense of humor. In her younger years, she and Mike would go to the Legion Club and dance with their friends. Her loving presence and warm heart for her family will be missed.
Diane was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Fr. Charles Kunkel and Jim Kunkel, sister Joan Kiffmeyer, and brother-in-law Tom Rosenow.
She is survived by her husband Mike of 54 years; son Brad (and Colleen) Rosenow of Kimball, and daughter Rebecca Rosenow of Kimball; grandchildren Ricky and Branson Jensen, and Jackson, Brezlan and Olive Bartlow; brothers Duane (and Linda) Kunkel, Lee (and Bea) Kunkel, Bob (and Eileen) Kunkel, Larry (and Teresa) Kunkel, Eugene Kunkel, and Mark (and Renee) Kunkel; sister Debbie Kunkel; brother-in-law Dick Kiffmeyer; sisters-in-law Janet Kunkel, Karen (and Jim) Neu, Audrey Purcell, Kathy Stuckey, and Darlene Rosenow; more than 100 nieces and nephews, and many other family members and friends.
Arrangements are with Dingmann Funeral Care. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Quiet Oaks Hospice House of St. Augusta.
