She was the oldest daughter in a family of 13 children, so she embraced the role of being a second mother to her younger siblings. Diana learned the importance of hard work at an early age and became an excellent cook, cleaner and caretaker. Diana graduated from Carson High School in 1977. After high school, she attended Mary College and Minot State University. She remained in Minot for several years working in the retail industry. Diana moved to Dickinson where she worked as a CNA at St. Benedict’s Health Center. She later went to work for the Eagles Club before going to work for Steier Oilfield Service. She was a dispatcher there until the time of her death. Diana was always considered to be an extremely loyal and dependable employee. Diana enjoyed many things in life. She loved her pug, “Otis”, cooking, crocheting, movies, facebook, collecting angels and antiques and much more. She was an introvert at heart who cherished her privacy but made friends easily and loved spending time with them. In recent years, Diana discovered a love for traveling with her very dear friend, Dale Jurgens. Diana will be deeply missed by all that knew her. She is survived by her parents, Emil and Florence Wingenbach of Bismarck; brothers, Bob (Deb) and Pat (Becky) both of Bismarck, Gary (Laura) of Bryan, TX, Brian (Lori) of Mandan, Jerry (Arianna) of Minot, and Dan (Candy) of Jamestown; and sisters, Debbie (Dwight) Wentz of Minot, Annette (John) Meyer of Dickinson, and Paula Wingenbach of Bismarck.
