Diana Warne
Diana Louise Warne (Trygstad)
01/06/1952 – 05/28/2023
Diana was born in Rochester, MN to John and Leone (Ashler) Trygstad. Diana graduated from Mayo High School, attended Rochester Community College and Winona State to obtain her bachelor’s degree in nursing. Diana worked as a Surgical Operating Nurse in Bemidji, MN from 1981-1988 and continued her nursing career in the Mayo Radiology Department for 20 years (1989-2009).
Diana married the love of her life, Tom Warne on June 2, 1990 in Rochester, MN. They settled in Eyota, MN where they raised two sons and stepson. They loved spending time with family, fishing, hunting, attending “Elvis” events, vacationing in Bemidji, dancing, and walking their dogs.
With family by her side, Diana was lifted to her heavenly home after gracefully living her last 10 years with Dementia (most likely Alzheimer’s).
Diana is survived by her devoted husband, Tom Warne, who visited her every evening; her mother Leone Trygstad; her sons, Nathan (Carrie) and Noah (Tayler); three grandchildren, Sophie, Liliana, and Olivia; sisters Sheri (Gary) Urban, Sally (Gary) Rud; brothers Dave (Julie) Trygstad and Doug (Sandy) Trygstad; and eight nieces/nephews. Diana was preceded in death by her father John Burton Trygstad, mother-in-law Mary Warne, grandmother Hilda Ashler, sister-in-law Marlys Trygstad, and uncle Fred Ashler.
The Warne family wishes to extend a warm thank you to the caregivers and staff at Cottagewood Senior Living and Memory Care. They “loved Diana” and provided outstanding care. Also, Zumbro Lutheran Church where she was a life-long member, ProMedica/Heartland Hospice for dedicated care in her last days, and steadfast friends Vickie Luehmann and Nancy Carman.
A funeral service for Diana will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, June 2, 2023 at Zumbro Lutheran Church in Rochester, Minnesota. Visitation will be held from 5:00-7:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 1st, 2023 in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home and one hour prior to the service at Zumbro Lutheran Church. Burial will be at East St. Olaf Cemetery, Rock Dell, Minnesota.

Lynn and I enjoyed so many evenings and shared meals with Diana and Tom as they stayed next door in their motor home on Lake Julia near Bemidji, MN
Diana was always so upbeat, worked hard, and laughed contagiously. Her family and friends were the world to her … except of-course her fascination with Elvis!!!
im glad to hear that she was loved by those who cared for her, as she so deserved that in return for all the love she poured out to others. God’s Peace to her and to her family also.
Much love, Pattie and Lynn

We are so sorry to have lost a dear friend. We will always remember the good times on our tours and the visits to Branson. Diana always opened her home to our visits and was also loved by our little Gidget!! Deepest sympathy to Tom and family.
I worked with Diana in Radiology for many years. She was a very caring and compassionate nurse (also a person). Her family was a great blessing to her every day.
I am sorry to hear of her death. My prayers are with her family.?
I worked with Diana in Radiology. She was always such a gentle soul and very kind, caring person. Nursing was such a great career choice because of her tender care of patients.
I'm very sorry to hear about Diana's passing. Thoughts and prayers to her grieving family and friends.
