Dianne Janet Kurtz, age 61, of Shawano, passed away on Monday July 14, 2025, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dianne was born on May 3, 1964, in Appleton to Karen (Langlois) Allen and the late Robert Allen. She graduated from Appleton West in 1982 and graduated from University of Wisconsin Stevens Point in 1986 with a bachelor's in dietetics. In Dianne's early years she was a stay-at-home mom and loved spending time with her daughters. She was proud of her daughters and was looking forward to being a grandmother. Dianne took pride in her flowers, planting and taking care of annuals and watching hummingbirds. Her favorite animal was penguins and had décor all over her home. Dianne loved spending time with her dog, Macy. She enjoyed camping all around Wisconsin, especially going to Wisconsin Dells, Door County and her parent's cabin in Florence. Dianne was very crafty and creative; she helped with many of her daughter's school projects. Her faith was important to her, and she was able to give her daughters that gift. Since Dianne's passing her daughters have kept with their faith and been praying for her and know she's up in Heaven. She was an amazing mother, daughter, sister, and girlfriend; Dianne will be deeply missed.

Dianne is survived by her daughters, Lindsey (Austin) Larsen and Kristy Kurtz; boyfriend, Robert "Butch" Bohr; mother, Karen Allen; brother, David Allen; and dog, Macy.

Dianne is preceded in death by her husband, Jon Kurtz and father, Robert Allen.
