Bohn

Dianne Lee Bohn, age 91, of Collinsville, IL, passed away November 7, 2026, at Meadowview Skilled Nursing, Arnold, MO.

She was born on May 3, 1935, in St. Louis, Missouri to Adele Emelia (nee Giacomini) and Erwin Carl Tiemann who lived in Collinsville, IL. She married the love of her life, Lawrence Edward Modglin, and had two surviving daughters, Deidre Lee and Leticia Joy. Later, she went on to marry William (Bill) Robert Kebbel and became stepmother to three children, Gary William (Kenneth Mason - deceased) Kebbel, Dennis Alan (Sheri) Kebbel and Karen Jean Bieda (now deceased). In her senior years, now widowed, she married her other sweetheart, her high school sweetheart, Walter William Bohn, Sr. Through her marriage to Walter, Dianne also became a loving stepmother to his five sons, Gary (Denise) Bohn, Dennis (Trina) Bohn, David (Cindy – deceased) Bohn, John (Kristine) Bohn and Walter (Butch) (Mary) Bohn, Jr.

Dianne was a devoted housewife and homemaker whose greatest joy in life was caring for her family. She filled her home with warmth, love, and the comforting traditions that brought everyone together. Dianne was well known for her Holiday dinners and her homemade Christmas cookies, which became cherished memories for her children and grandchildren.

She loved spending time with her grandchildren and was always ready to lend a helping hand. In her free time, Dianne enjoyed simple pleasures such as collecting teddy bears “Dianne’s Bears”, and dining at The Sandwich Shop and Spring Gardens. She was active in her beloved church, Holy Cross Lutheran Church, singing in the church choir all her life. In earlier years, she was a part of the Ladies Aid, waitressing the annual Sausage Supper, participating in the annual Apple Butter Festival, and was very active volunteer back at Holy Cross Lutheran School. Her family was among the four founding families of the church, a fact she took great pride in. After raising and caring for her beautiful family, Dianne continued her church pursuits participating in church activities, the senior choir and prayer chain. More than anything, Dianne’s undying faith and love for her Savior Jesus Christ is and was at the center of her world.

Above all, Dianne was an incredible mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Her kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for her family will be remembered always. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
