Deanna “Diane” (Bellmore) Newhouse was born on September 12, 1939 to William and Catherine (Nepel) Bellmore in Kent, Minn.  When Diane was a year old the family moved from Kent, Minn., to the farm in Henning. Diane graduated from Henning High School with the class of 1957.  After high school she moved to Zion, Ill., where she met her husband Mathias “Wayne” Newhouse. Together the couple moved to Kenosha, Wis. where they raised their family.  Diane was a proud domestic engineer.  She baked everything from scratch just like her mother taught her. Everyone enjoyed her baking, especially her bread and annual Christmas cookies.  She also kept a large garden, loved to fish, and water ski.  The family took vacations every summer on East Battle Lake.  After Wayne’s retirement the couple moved to the farm in Deer Creek. 

Diane is preceded into death by her parents William and Catherine; children: Tony and Lyle; siblings: Leon, Howard, Joe, Ben, Marlis, Blanche, Jeanette, and Joann.
