Obituary
Dianne Lorraine Born was born on July 31, 1950, in Faribault, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Freeman and Lorraine (Prescott) Briggs. Dianne was baptized as an infant at Grace Baptist Church in Mankato, and as an adult, she was confirmed in her faith at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in North Mankato. She received her education in Mankato and was a graduate of the Mankato High School Class of 1968.
On April 26, 1969, Dianne was united in marriage to Gary Born at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Mankato. This marriage was blessed with three daughters, Christine, Jodi, and Trisha. Dianne and Gary resided in Hutchinson. Dianne and Gary shared 41 years of marriage before Gary passed away in 2010.
Dianne was dedicated to her husband and children at home. She loved children and did daycare for a family in Hutchinson as well as for her niece and nephew.
Dianne enjoyed puzzles, country music, canning, and going on road trips with Gary. She especially enjoyed spending time with her family, grandchildren and friends.
In 2011, Dianne started her battle with cancer, diagnosed with Stage 3 skin cancer, undergoing multiple surgeries to aid her to a full recovery. In 2016, unrelated to the skin cancer, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer, which she had been battling for the last five years.

I will miss you so much my mama. Thank you for being here for me always. You had such a heart of gold. I will remember our amazing trip to Florida as Mother and Daughter time. I know you will always be by my side forever, and guide me through this difficult time. I love you mom very much.

I will miss my little sister Dianne. My life will never be the same without you. No one has ever been so caring, so giving, loving, never taking anything for herself, a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and so much more. No more pain or stress sis. You are in God’s hands now with your husband Gary, your mother Lorraine, your father Freeman and many more family members and friends. I will never forget you. Until we meet again. Your big sis, Iris Ringhofer
