It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of our gorgeous Mama’s passing. Diane Christell has been an earth angel since the day she was born on 11/24/1954, to loving parents Marjorie & Evar Christell.

She died peacefully in her sleep, with her family around her on Tuesday, August 6th. She was in Bend, Oregon at a beautiful hospice center. She was near the birds, the river, and her west coast grandchildren.

We will remember her with every sunset, lake swim & cup of coffee. She taught us to dream big, stand tall and love hard. Oh, and to forgive. Always forgive.

Please honor her today by forgiving someone you know. If possible, in person, with a great cup of coffee, and a big hug.

We will be gathering at her family's church to celebrate her on Wednesday, September 25th, in Northfield IL at 10am.
