Alana Diestelkamp Obituary

Diestelkamp
Alana "Kim" (Johnson) Diestelkamp
03/14/1953 - 04/04/2018
Kim spent 30 years working at Spring Creek where she worked with troubled youth. Kim's entire life was dedicated to helping others and pursuing her love of God - she always worked to bring friends and family closer to God and each other. She was everyone's best friend and genuinely cared about your well being. Every year, you could expect a card, with a hand-written note for your birthdays, anniversaries, ect. She never forgot the important things! Her hobbies included arts and crafts, fishing and bowling. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Kim is survived by her son, Jason Diestelkamp; his wife, Cindy; and their daughter Aubrie. Other surviving family includes her sister, Shannon; Charlene Castleman; Kyle Castleman; and Colby Castleman.
Services: Private family gathering.
