Diane L. “Hoot” Kolbow, age 62, of Lowell, died unexpectedly on Thursday, September 16, 2021 at Marshfield Medical Center in Beaver Dam.

Paul Schupmann officiating. Burial will immediately follow at Lowell Cemetery. Diane was born on April 27, 1959 in Hustisford, Wisconsin to Alton and Marjorie (Kohn) Lauersdorf. She graduated from Dodgeland High School in 1977. In May 1983, she was united in marriage with Michael L. Kolbow in Lebanon, Wisconsin. Diane worked for Aunt Nellie’s, currently Seneca Foods, in Clyman for over thirty years. She was a member of Salem Lutheran Church for many years and was the sextant of Lowell Cemetery for the past five years. Diane was one of those people that could talk to anyone – and she did. She was always happy and she had a contagious smile and laugh. Diane was the loving mother of her two children, Pamela Kolbow of Lowell and Andrew Kolbow of Reeseville and she was also the loving grandma of Michael Kolbow. She is further survived by her mother, Marjorie Lauersdorf of Lowell; her brother, James Lauersdorf (Mary Osterhoff) of Beaver Dam; her sister-in-law, Laurie (Mike) Martin of Watertown; nieces, nephews, other relatives, friends and her cats and dogs. Diane was preceded in death by her father and her husband. Diane enjoyed life the most when she was with her family and friends. Attending concerts, sitting by a bonfire with her kids and their friends, sharing her love and knowledge of essential oils, watching WI sports, and especially spending time with her Grandson Michael. Diane will be deeply missed by many, and She will Forever be In our hearts. John 14:1-2 “Happy Days”

My Thoughts and Prayers are with the family at this difficult time. I always enjoyed running into Diane at church or out and about. She was always happy and liked to spread that happiness and her kindness with everyone she met. Her smile and laughter will be missed by many.
