Diane Rose Ware of North Branch passed away Sunday, July 11, 2021 at the University of Minnesota Hospital in Minneapolis at the age of 79.

Diane was born February 18, 1942 to John and Geneva (Hammons) Rose in Coe, West Virginia.

Diane met Jesus as a teenager.  The love of God carried her through all of life’s storms.

Diane and James were great examples of what it means to love the person in front of you, always encouraging, seeing the best in you, and believing in your dreams and your future.  They wanted you to know that you are beautiful and very loved.

Her grandchildren called her Mema.  Oh!  How she loved them!  There was nothing in this world that gave her greater joy.

We are heartbroken to be without her, but also so thankful for the many years we had her in our lives.  She missed James very much after his death in 2019.  We rejoice that they are reunited and with Jesus, that there is no more pain and there are no more tears in
heaven.

Diane is survived by her daughter Sandra (Robert) Finch; grandchildren Ceanna (Adam) Schmidt and Rob Finch; great-grandchildren Olivia and Amelie; siblings Russel Dunkley, Norma (Larry) Rapp, John (Arlene) Rose, James (Brenda) Rose, Cora (Gary) Stump, Nancy (Tom) Loudin, Frank (Cindy) Rose, Rebecca Rose (fiancée Jeff Sisk); sister-in-law Viola Ware; brother-in-law Claude (Doris) Ware; bonus daughter Minnie Shafer.

She was preceded in death by her husband James Ware; parents John and Geneva Rose; step-mother Virginia Rose.
