Diana Marie Nelson

Diana Marie Nelson sadly lost her prolonged battle with cancer, Tuesday, September 27, 2022. She was preceded in death by her father Nile B Nelson, mother Sandra L. Sticklin (Nelson/Keto/Johnson) and younger sister Darlene Nelson. Diana dearly loved her 3 sons Theodore “Frank” Keithahn III, Jason Barrus and Jacob Barrus. Diana is survived by her youngest sister Christina Sivewright.

Her life partner Ronald Kirby Von Koehler was both loving and attentive to Diana’s needs in her final days. Diana attended school in Centralia, WA, class of 1974 and was a long-time resident in Tenino, WA. For many years she worked as a Teacher’s Aide for the Tenino School District and also worked for the State of WA Department of Corrections.

Ron recalls Diana as a warm and well thought of person by those she knew and loved. She was best known for her love of cooking and will be greatly missed. Diana passed quietly the morning of September 27th, 2022. She is no longer in pain and is heaven bound, to be with her family and friends that preceded her.

We hope they had a heck of a birthday party for her!

God Bless Diana now and forever

Amen.

A viewing for Diana will be held Saturday, November 5, 2022 from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Sticklin Funeral Chapel, 1437 S Gold St., Centralia, Washington 98531.
