Lies, Diane Marie (Prokop)
Of Maple Grove, MN passed away on Jan. 3, 2018 at the age of 68. Diane was born to Andrew and Josephine Prokop on Feb. 28, 1949 in St. Paul, MN. In 1966 she married her high school sweetheart and best friend John Lies. Together they lovingly welcomed daughter Gina and son John. Before starting her professional careers, she dedicated herself to raising their children. Diane thrived on learning. She graduated from Bethel College with honors. She showed incredible strength and courage as she faced each new health challenge and NEVER gave up. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest pride and joy; and they knew it. Family gatherings, birthdays and holidays were always celebrated together. Diane was a talker and storyteller, sometimes even known to tell a funny joke or two. It delighted her to have in-depth conversations with or without a glass of wine. In addition to spending time with her family, she enjoyed many close friends, reading a variety of books, sewing and decorating their home.Diane is survived by her devoted husband of 51 years; children, Gina (Dale) Hanken and John (Kim) Lees; 3 grandsons, Kyle (Ellen) Hanken, Craig (Sara) Hanken, Kevin Hanken; 1 great-granddaughter, Sloan Hanken; also survived by Kim’s son, Luke Peterson (fiancé Dani); siblings, Denny Prokop, Marigale Prokop, Joan (Kevin) Hajney as well as a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends. Preceded in death by her parents and brothers Jim, Greg and Joe. Memorials preferred to the American Lung Association.
