Diane Dingmann, 80, of Bella Vista, AR died on August 31 ^st , 2022, with family beside her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Stanley W. and Mildred I. Roberts, and sister Roberta Johnston.   She is survived by her former spouse Don (Evelyn) Dingmann, two sons, Ward (Ann) Dingmann and Neal (Emily) Dingmann, 3 grandchildren (Hudson, N.J., and Dak).

She was born in Minneapolis, MN in 1941, graduating college from St. Cloud St. and teaching 5 ^th grade for several years.   She lived in Grantsburg, WI for 18 years, but spent the last 37 in Northwest Arkansas.  Never one to sit still, she enjoyed a variety of things, including music, especially sharing her gift of playing the piano for many.  Golf was also a passion, winning a few championships, and even achieving a hole-in-one.   She also loved dogs, rescuing several over the years.  There wasn't a casino in that area that she didn't enjoy and was always glad to share stories about her winnings, but few memories of any losses.   More than anything, she truly enjoyed her family and many close friendships that she cherished.   It was certainly a life well lived and she will be very missed.

There will be a celebration of life in Northwest Arkansas for family and friends at the end of the year (to be announced later).
