Diane Lynne (Ganzeveld) Reed, the daughter of Curtis and Carol (Rasmussen) Ganzeveld, was born on July 27, 1961, in Clarion, Iowa. She was raised and educated in Goldfield, graduating from Goldfield High School in 1979. She then attended college at UNI in Cedar Falls. Diane began her career caring for others with a range of disabilities at Wright Opportunities (now Mosaic), she would train them for a variety of jobs and help them find employment. In 1993, she began her 26 years of hard work and dedication to Hagie Manufacturing. Diane was very fond of her “Hagie Family”.

In 1989, Diane married Brent Reed and they had two children, Logan and Miranda. The couple later divorced. She has made her home in Clarion for many years with her long-time partner, Dennis Martin. Diane was a member of the United Presbyterian Church in Goldfield.

Diane enjoyed gardening, caring for house plants, cooking and grilling – her favorite additions to any meal were bacon and cheese! She loved cats, sitting in a trout stream and camping, especially when she could schedule a trip during a “Full Moon”.

Diane loved her family and she was extremely proud of Logan and Miranda – grateful for getting to witness both of their marriages (to spouses she also adored) in the last year.
