Diane (Mancini) Bogniard

July 27th1953--July 6th 2025

Diane wasn't just a mom.  She was the mom-the one who managed to do it all with style, grit, and a touch of lipstick.  She balanced work meetings with school pickups, deadlines with dinner tables, and somehow made it look effortless. She was smart-the kind of smart that didn't demand attention but earned respect. She was sharp in meetings, gentle at bedtime, and always two steps ahead.

She didn't just light up a room-she warmed it.  People leaned in when she spoke, because she made you feel like you mattered.

Her laugh was quick, her style timeless, her mind always at work-solving problems, building a life, raising humans with heart.  Her beauty ran bone deep and she was an example of how to live with elegance and integrity.

She shared a deep and lasting love with her soulmate, John and together they built a life filled with love, laughter, kids, golf, and travel.  She was preceded in death by John, and we take comfort in knowing they are together again.

Dementia tried to steal pieces of her, but it never touched her light.  Her warmth, her grace, the spark in her eyes, they never left her.  She held onto love until the very end, and we held on to her.

Diane leaves behind a family who adored her including her children- Kristin Sgro, Andrea Neff, Jason Bogniard, Jeffrey Bogniard, as well as her sister Ruthanne Wilkof, her brother David Mancini, her late brother John Mancini, and eight beloved grandchildren.

A visitation will be held at Arnold Funeral Home at 1517 Market Ave N. on July 30th from 11a.m-12:30p.m. A memorial service will follow at 12:30 p.m. at the funeral home with Pastor Dave Short officiating.

Private family burial will take place at North Lawn Cemetery.
