Dianne E. Leden

Dianne E. Leden, age 90, passed away on August 22, 2025, at The Residence in Oshkosh, WI.

Dianne was born on June 7, 1935 to the late Archie & Lida (Drews) Johnson in Eureka, WI. In 1978 mom's friend, Dottie, introduced mom to her brother Jack Leden. On October 13, 1979 Dianne and Jack married, and she moved out to the farm. Together they ran the Fondale Farm in Rogersville.

They enjoyed family gatherings, fishing, golfing, concerts, their lake home in Manitowish Waters, and card games with friends and neighbors. They traveled many miles to always attend grandchildren's sporting events. Dianne always enjoyed cooking, baking, reading & gardening. Later when she could no longer see, she enjoyed listening to audio books.

Dianne is survived by her children, David (Pam) Johnson, Susan Jewell, Russ (Brenda) Broderick, Linda Monroe, and Kathy (Dave) Tavs; grandchildren, Ashley (Tyler) Kasuboski, Paul Broderick, Brian (Tammy) Jewell, MJ Broderick, Sarah (Seth) Freiberg, Tyler (Tina) Broderick, Toni (Don) Broderick, Jackie (Bryan) Whitenack, Jennifer (Al) Foster, Rebecca (Riley) Dahlke, Jamie (Greg) Dragolovich, and Stephanie (Lesley) Tavs; 22 great grandchildren; stepdaughter, Barb (Steve) Drossel; and mom's best friend, Jackie Goluba. She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Jack Leden; son, Daniel Broderick; sister, Beverly (Francis) Schuster; sons-in-law, Carlos (Squeeky) Jewell and Dan Monroe; granddaughter, Jessica; and great-grandson, Tyler.

A mother's dream is to always stay close with her family and she certainly achieved that in this life. We are always going to smile when thinking of "Our Mom". She was an amazing mother, and we all feel so blessed that she made it to age 90.

Special thank you to staff at The Residence Assisted Living in Oshkosh - you always treated our mom like she was family. She also enjoyed all her friends there, it was wonderful to see how they all took care of each other and laughed together. We also would like to thank Bluestone for handling mom's medical needs and Preceptor Hospice for keeping her comfortable.

Per Dianne's wishes there will be a private graveside service at the Eureka Cemetery, followed by a family fish fry at The Farmstead in Eureka.
