It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Diane “Dyna” Frances Romboy, who departed this life at age 77, while at home, holding the hand of her dear husband, Rick.
Diane was a gifted student and graduated Valedictorian from Custer High School in 1966.
Immediately after graduation Diane accepted a job with Miller Brewing Company - a job that
would last for 39 years until her retirement in 2005.
On April 22, 1994, Diane wed Rick Romboy. Their marriage spanned more than 3 decades but
their love story goes back even farther - to when they met in 1980. Diane was a devoted
mother to her daughter Jennifer (Jason) and a loving stepmother to Karl (Kelly), Ryan (Arran) and Robert (Maya). Diane loved her family and found such joy in becoming a grandmother to Cora, Jakob, Andrew (Tia), Isabella, Emeline, Hannah, Claira Frances, Brooklynn, Chloe, Trenten and Joseph; as well as great grandson Casey.
Besides her immediate family, she is lovingly remembered as a cherished Auntie by her 2 special nephews, Brian (Beth) and Dean (Denise); as well as many great nieces and great nephews, as well as one great great nephew and one great great niece. She will also be remembered by countless special friends, whose lives were touched by her warmth and generous spirit.
For the past 15 years, Diane found her paradise in Hawaii, where she traveled annually to soak
in the beauty of the islands and the peace they brought her. Whether strolling along the beach or enjoying the sunset with a smile, Hawaii was her sanctuary. She was so happy when friends and family would also come for a visit to share in that peace.
Diane was preceded in death by her parents Richard Wnukowski and Janet Singer; and sister Carol Holzberger.
A Celebration of Life will be held in her honor on Friday, June 20 at the Story Hill FireHouse, 407 N. Hawley Road, Milwaukee, beginning with a visitation at 4pm and a service to follow at 5pm.
In honor of Diane’s memory, memorials may be directed to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, a charity
that was near and dear to Diane’s heart.
