Diane Marie Koziatek died on October 7, 2020 in St. Louis, MO. She was 72.

Diane was born on February 22, 1948 to her parents, Jack and June Faust, whom preceded her in death. She married her high school sweetheart and best friend Raymond Koziatek in 1971. They were married for 49 years. She is survived by her husband Ray Koziatek, her sister and brother-in-law Barb and George Neff, son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Brandi Koziatek, son and daughter-in-law Andy Koziatek and Dr. Liz Remus, four grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Diane had an amazing zest for life, always had a smile on her face, and loved well. She was always her sons’ biggest cheerleader whether they were running, coaching, speaking, or performing. Her devotion to her husband, children, sister, extended family and friends was genuine, loving, and supportive. No matter who she was with she always had a smile to offer, a hug to give, a listening ear, a laugh to share, or an encouraging word to lift you up. She loved listening to oldies, dancing, spending time with her kids and grandkids.
