Diana Gollobit, 62, of West Branch, Iowa, died on Monday, Dec. 28, 2015, at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics following a courageous battle with cancer.
Visitation was Monday, Jan. 4, 2016, at Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services in Mount Vernon. Funeral services were Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2016, at the funeral home. Burial was in Mount Vernon Memorial Cemetery.
Survivors include husband, Howard Gollobit; daughter, Gabrielle Stoner (Brad); mother-in-law, Doris Gollobit; sisters, Joyce Almquist (Wally), Julie Gollobit, Lori Trottier, and Angela Phelps (Vic); beloved grandchildren Samuel and Maciann Stoner; and special furry family members Daisy the dog and Chico the horse.
Diana was born Feb. 17, 1953, the daughter of John and Shirley Walton, formerly of Mount Vernon. Diana had a love of the outdoors, especially tending to her many bountiful gardens and beautiful flowers. She was known for her beautiful long black hair usually swept into a side pony tail. Diana was a fantastic cook; nobody would pass up a meal at her house. We often joked that she was her grandchildren’s short-order cook, always making their favorites.
Preceding her in death was father John Walton; mother Shirley Walton; sisters Isla Jean and Pam Johnston; and father-in-law Howard “Slim” Gollobit Sr.
Memorials may be directed to the family in care of Gabrielle Stoner.
