DIANE LOUISE MINNEY
Cedar Rapids
Diane Louise Minney, 70, of Cedar Rapids, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, Dec 2, 2020, at her home. She has been cremated and no service is planned. Burial will be at Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery.
Diane was born on June 4, 1950, in Iowa City, Iowa, the daughter of William and Dorothy (Andrews) Minney. She was a lifelong resident of Cedar Rapids and a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Hiawatha, Iowa. Diane worked as a telecommunications operator at Mercy Medical Center, until her death.
Survivors include her sister, Patricia (Alan) Hanson; brother, Douglas (Joan) Minney; sister, Sherlynn (Jeff) Stephens; her longtime dearest friend, Karen Blair; her friend and helpful neighbor, Lisa Bonnichsen; and her loving dog, Roco.
Words best describing Diane would be her outgoing nature, sense of humor, generosity, a diehard Cubs fan and love for her dog. She will be missed.
Memorials in Diane's memory can be made to Dog's Forever in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, or to a charity of the donor's choice.
Special thanks to the staff at Mercy Medical Center for their friendship and the compassionate care given to Diane.
