Diane Katherine Jennings passed away Friday, April 12, 2019. She was born August 23, 1938, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Adeline Schwichtenberg and Alvin Tomaszewski. She grew up in West Allis, Wisconsin, where she loved to ice skate and sled down the hill on her father’s back. She grew up on good German food, bratwurst and cheese. She enjoyed baseball games and NASCAR. Diane was a member of the Catholic Church. She attended West Allis High School. She married John Herr and they lived in France while he was in the army. They later divorced.
Diane moved to Tooele and married the “love of her life,” Arvil Jennings, in September of 1978. Diane became a pillar in the Tooele community. She worked and retired from Tooele Federal Credit Union and volunteered at the Senior Center and at Mountain West Medical Center in imaging.
Diane had a great sense of humor. She was a proud and private person. She loved to shop and look her very best. Her mind was quick and bright to the very end. Diane’s Tooele friends were very dear to her.
Diane was preceded in death by her dear husband, Arv; sister, Phyllis Tomaszewski; and a step-son, Calvin. She is survived by her sister, Sandy Wojcik (Ron); and her late husband’s children: son, Allan (Judy); son, Ken (Sheila); daughter-in-law, Carol; son, Gary (Jackie); daughters Brenda Ivy (Keith), and DeeAnn Vigil; three nieces; two nephews; 18 grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren.
