Diane Marie Augustine-Grau, 73, passed away, Friday, October 18, 2024, at Lee Health and Rehab.

Diane was born in Niles, Michigan, and was the daughter of the late Max and Hazel (Stickwood) Augustine.

Left to cherish her memory is her husband, Garry Grau, sister, Karen Louise Keck, grandchildren, William Garry Roark, and John Burton Roark, nephew, John Six Keck and wife, Tisha, along with her great nieces and nephew, Kamryn, Kayley, and Broc.

Diane's wishes were to be cremated with a Celebration of Life Service conducted at a later date.
