Diane Kathleen Kaye, 79, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at home Sunday, July 9, 2023, from blood-related cancer. Her beloved husband, Ron, was at her side. Diane and Ron were married 57 years this past May. They enjoyed years of travel, holidays with family, dinner parties and card playing, and summers at their place on Army Lake with life-long friends.

Diane was very involved in her church at St. Charles Borromeo where she sang in the choir for many years. She had the voice of an angel. Known for always sitting in the first row, she became friends with many of the priests and sisters of the parish. Diane also cut and styled hair throughout her life, and every salon was a home away from home.

Diane is predeceased by her father, Christopher Mitchell, mother, Estelle (nee Faykowski), brother, Michael (Geri) Mitchell, father-in-law, Edward Kleszczynski, mother-in-law, Pearl, and brothers-in-law, David (Pat) Kleszczynski and Daniel (Joan) Kleszczynski.

She is survived by her loving husband Ronald Kaye; two children, Lisa (Michael) Horwath and Timothy (Casey) Kaye; and her six grandchildren: Mitchell, Grace, Mason, Izzie, Max, and Andrew. She also leaves behind her brother, Craig (Chris) Mitchell, and many beloved nieces, nephews and dear friends.

Diane was a strong, independent, kind, caring, and funny lady who will be missed and remembered by many of those whose lives she touched. Please join our family as we celebrate Diane's wonderful life. Memorial visitation on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, 9:30-11:30 AM at St. Charles Borromeo Church, 3100 W. Parnell Ave, Mass of Christian Burial at 11:30 AM. Private inurnment Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery.
