Diane Lynn Vegter was born January 30, 1950 in Libertyville, Illinois, the daughter of Edwin and Arldine “Jerry” (Weaver) Hansen. Diane graduated from Mt. Saint Claire High School in Clinton in 1969. Diane married Gail Vegter, on November 30, 1969 at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in Clinton. She worked very hard over the years taking care of her two girls, working, and supporting her husband as a military wife. She was known for her compassion, kindness, humor and strength, and she was always there to lend a helping hand if there was someone in need. She loved children and enjoyed working in many daycares including Stay 'N' Play Daycare in Clinton.
Diane enjoyed reading, sudoku and "thrifting". She had a great sense of humor (anyone in the family can attest to that). She loved to laugh and was great at making other people laugh. What was most important to Diane was her family. She found joy in spending time with her grandkids and great grandkids and just being with her family.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband Gail Vegter of Clinton; two daughters: Sara Faith Vegter of Clinton and Kimberly Dawn (Lee Lane) Vegter of Clinton; grandchildren: Riley Vegter-Partin of Clinton, Autumn (Brett Steines) Vegter-Steines of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Ray Vegter of Clinton; great grand daughters: Summer-Rayne and Stormi Soul; siblings: Susan (Paul) Ryan of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Richard (Kym) Hansen of Fulton, Illinois, Donna (Randy) May of Clinton; many nieces and nephews and her beloved dogs Theo and Tilly, who never left her side.
Diane was preceded in death by her parents and her eldest sister Terry Voss.
