Diana Lynn Schroeder

Diana was born on May 7th, 1948 to Paul Schaefer and Lois Stunkel Schaefer in Storm Lake, IA and spent most of her childhood in Columbus, NE. 

 She met and later married Sid Smith. Diana worked in accounting for various businesses throughout her career. 

 She was an avid reader, master scrapbooker, a collector of recipes and cookbooks, a passionate movie lover either at a theatre or watching Hallmark at home, and always had a Starbucks iced tea in her hand. She loved traveling and was always ready for the next adventure with her family near and far. Recently, Thursday was her favorite day of the week because she had a standing date with her grand-dog, Hank. 

 Diana passed away at home on October 28. She is survived by her 3 brothers; Mike (Linda) Schaefer; Tim Schaefer; & Scott (Brenda) Schaefer; stepdaughter Shawn Smith (Craig); three grandchildren; Alex (Wade); Shannon (Cameron) and Robert John as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family.

 A visitation for family and friends will be held Saturday November 2, 2024 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary, 1867 N. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah.
