Diane Jean Rublee

Diane Jean Rublee, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on December 8, 2025, at the age of 81. 

Raised in Colorado and Wyoming, Diane developed a deep love for the Rocky Mountains and hard work early in life. She fondly recalled a formative experience working with horses on a ranch nestled in the Rocky Mountains.

Later, with her husband Neil Rublee, she made her home in the Ozarks, where she devoted herself to raising four children-Greg, Kristina, Suzanne, and David--with unwavering love and care. Her life was marked by faith, service, and a steadfast commitment to her community. As a Sunday School teacher, Cub Scout and Webelo leader, and Missionettes Leader, Diane embraced opportunities to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children, leaving an indelible mark on countless lives.

She is survived by her children, Greg (Maria), Kristina, Suzanne and David (Mary). Cherished grandchildren, Danielle (Chase), Austin, Wyatt (Holly), Leticia, Logan and River. Four great-grandchildren, Lucian, Dominic, Viktor, and Eleanor, who carry forward her legacy of kindness and faith. Her family spans the Ozarks and Australia, a testament to the far-reaching impact of her love.

Diane's life was a beautiful example of service, strength, and grace. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered in the hearts of all who knew her.
