Obituary of Diana Gale Stutzman

Diana Gale (Greenlee) Stutzman passed June 26, 2020.She was born April 25, 1957 in Denver, Colorado to Edger and Emma Greenlee.Growing up in Scott City, Kansas, Diane was the youngest of four children. She showed a passion for animals early on, and when not helping her mother in their floral shop, could often be found feeding the neighborhood stray cats and claiming them as her own. Participating in athletics and cheerleading, Diane graduated from Scott City High School in 1975. Immediately after, she began work as a legal aid for the local District Attorney's office. Diane married in 1976 and began her family, giving birth to first a daughter, Jessica in 1977, and later a son, Daniel in 1981. Settling in Salina, Kansas, she spent several years putting her office skills to use working for ADM, owned by Smoot Grain Co., before choosing what became an extensive career in Retail Management. Wanting to be closer to the mountains and her mother, Diane moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2006, where she remained until her death. It was there that she met the love of her life, Dennis, remarrying in a picturesque ceremony on May 5, 2012. Together they enjoyed motorcycle rides through the mountains, Sunday afternoon football, and time spent with family. Diane could often be heard bragging on her six grandchildren, for whom she cherished and adored. Always selfless, Diane chose the wonderful gift of organ donation and her family happily obliged.
