Diane Louise Brosnan

November 24, 1949 — October 24, 2021

Diane Louise Brosnan entered into Eternal life on Sunday, October 24th, 2021.

Diane was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Nov 24th, (Thanksgiving Day) 1949 to parents Robert & Hazel Martin.

In 1966 she and her family moved to Shawnee, Kansas where she finished high school and went on to study Nursing. She met the love of her life, Neal Brosnan while working in a "full menu" restaurant in downtown Kansas City, MO.

They were married in a little white church on an incredibly hot day in July. The tiered wedding cake melted, and looked like the leaning Tower of Pisa, but they were happy. Their long standing tradition was a good steak and a bottle of wine on each wedding anniversary.

Diane will be passionately missed by her much loved children: Steve (Melody), Sarah (Herb), Emily and Olivia (Brent) and by her grandsons: Cornelius, Joshua, Benjamin and Elijah.

Diane loved reading and had an insatiable appetite for knowledge. She was a lifelong student of the Bible and of Natural Medicine. From 1998 to 2015 Diane and her daughter Emily managed and eventually owned Lytle's Nutrition Center. Diane was a gifted cook who found great joy in perfecting recipes and preparing delicious, made from scratch meals for her family. The kind that nourished your soul.

In more recent years, she found joy in simple things - a hot cup of coffee, an extra soft blanket, fresh cut flowers from the garden, phone calls with her dear sister Becky, Emily’s photography, her colorful family of parakeets, her sweet Golden Retriever Gracie and conversations with her devoted husband.

Diane Brosnan was never lukewarm on any subject, always had an opinion and almost always got her way. To say that she was strong willed would be an understatement, but no one loved more fiercely. 2 Timothy 4:7 sums up the last few years of her life... She fought a good fight. She finished her course. She kept her faith.

Her family finds great comfort in knowing that she now walks pain free with her Savior. They will continue to celebrate her life as they always have, when they gather together in November on Thanksgiving.
