Diane Doris Baxley went home to be with the Lord March 16, 2023 after a long courageous battle with a rare lung disease.

She was born in Milwaukee, WI to Morris and Mabel Holbrook April 11, 1942. She began her fairytale marriage to Bob Baxley on March 22, 1958. They were inseparable for six days short of 65 wonderful years. Theirs was a life of love, laughter and friendship.

Diane loved crocheting and gifting her beautiful creations to her friends and family, but mostly she enjoyed her life spent by my father’s side riding shotgun in their many pick-up trucks hunting, fishing and their trips to Alaska. Diane’s kind heart and beautiful smile will be forever missed.

Diane is survived by her husband Bob, sister Cheryl Pebley, daughter Cindy (Dale) Tobiassen, son Ken (Julie) Baxley, grandchildren: Bob (Michelle) Tellam, Jennifer May, Steven (Rachel) Baxley, Dan (Amrita) Tellam, George (Lacie) Baxley, Ryan (Rachel) Baxley; great-grandchildren: Arianna, Bobby, Kailie, Annabelle, Kori, Charlie, Justin Baxley, Parker and Preslie May, Vada, Nora and Adalyn Tellam.

She is preceded in death by her parents and brother Robert Holbrook.

Celebration of life and interment will be held in Placerville at a later date.

Arrangements are under the direction of Hooper & Weaver Mortuary.
