Our dear mother Diana Showalter, went to be with our Lord at the young age of 58, on October 19th, 2023 in Edgewater, Florida.
Diana had such a loving personality, and anyone who got to know her knew she loved with her whole heart. She always put everyone else’s needs before herself. The first thing you’d noticed about her were bright blue eyes and beautiful smile.
She loved Meatloaf, (the band not the food), and having dance parties in the living room while she cleaned. She loved the beach and the heat. She was a hard worker and loved her job where she would come in contact with alligators and other wildlife in the Florida area. She was a fearless soul, She would make a decision and just go with it, and she’d conquer it with no backing down.
She loved and was loved by many and will be missed immensely.
Diana was Born October 24th, 1964 to Melva Margaret Dopson and Donald Lawerence Showalter. She is survived by her father, William Krieger, her brothers and sisters Mike, Bill, Lori, Butch, Bob, Jim, and Lily, along with many nieces and nephews that she loved dearly. Her daughters and grandchildren, Teela Martinez (Isaac, Josiah, & Moriah) , Khatrina Main (Kiera,Kyndra,Caelyn,Bella, &Lucy) and Kristina Vinduska (Cameron, Emily, Cora & Jared), her best friend and sister in law, Sue Hempe, and her husband, Michael Makovsky
Diana is preceded in death by her mom, Gayle Krieger, Brother, Rick, and her birth parents, Melva and Donald Showalter.
She loved celebrating different holidays by dressing up. Christmas at the beach was her favorite and building “snow” men out of sand was something she looked forward to every year.
Diana’s Celebration of life will be held at the Enterprise United Methodist Church at 3pm on Saturday December 2, 2023. Please celebrate her by wearing a funny Christmas sweater.
Flowers and Cards can be mailed to The Family of Diana Showalter, 2467 Highland Ave. Salina, KS 67401 or Memorial donations can be made to our Venmo account (@Teela-Martinez) to help fulfill Diana’s last wish of having her ashes scattered in the ocean.
