Diane Bremner

Diane Alois Bremner, 62, of Cedar Falls, died Saturday, January 14, 2023, at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Diane loved her family, and knew and loved God. She wasn’t an extrovert, and yet developed deep friendships. She went to Russia for a year with the family to help people there learn more about God. Rather than teaching the people there, she loved them, and they knew it. It was her love that made an impact. She enjoyed crafts like pour painting, puzzles, sewing and cooking. She enjoyed reading the Bible, digging into what it said, and sharing with a group what each of them was learning. She never liked attention, and yet people saw her. She lived out the loving Christian life. When she was young, she was faster than many of the boys in her school, and when she became an adult was able to catch Ron, though her sparkling eyes and the red dress she was wearing may have played a part. For forty years they grew together, learning what it means to become one. She was patient, kind, gentle and a host of other character traits. She was an incredible wife and mother, the result of a personal relationship with Jesus. We miss Diane deeply, but today she is in the presence of Jesus. Diane was born on August 29, 1960, in Topeka, KS, the daughter of John and Barbara “Sally” (Gillard) Rider. She graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1979. On June 26, 1982, she was united in marriage to Ronald Bremner at Trinity Bible Church in Cedar Falls. She was a homemaker to her husband and three children. Diane is survived by her husband, Ron; three children: Kathleen Bremner of Cedar Falls, Dustin (Lauren) Bremner of San Francisco, CA, and Brian (Caitlin) Bremner of Cedar Falls; three grandchildren: Noelle, Ada, and Clive Bremner; stepmother Dianne Peterson of Cedar Falls; siblings Mike (Linda) Rider of Gibbon, MN, John (Amelia) Rider of Cedar Falls, Jenny (John) Nehs of Green Bay, WI, David (Renee) Rider of Parkersburg, Shannon (Jerome) Hilscher of Clive, and Nate (Jen) Rider of Lenexa, KS. She was preceded in death by her mother, father, and bonus dad Robert Peterson. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Monday, January 23, 2023, at Trinity Bible Church in Cedar Falls. Visitation 4:00-7:00 p.m. Sunday at Richardson Funeral Service. Private family burial at Fairview Cemetery in Cedar Falls prior to the service at church.
