DIAKOW, Jean

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Mom, “Jean” Genoefa Vivian Diakow, at the age of 95. Predeceased by her husband, Rudolph; eldest son, Marvin; and daughter, Betty, Jean leaves her cherished daughters Carol, Barbara, and Margaret (Don); loving son, Larry (Shelby); five grandchildren; and dear sisters, Delores (Bryan), Liz, and Florence.
Mom’s faith and love of nature sustained her throughout her long and active life. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew and loved her.
We extend our grateful thanks to Dr. Ziets Hendriks and to all the staff at Mission Creek Landing for their wonderful care of our mom.
