Obituary

Dianna Jean Sauer passed away on September 22, 2020 after a courageous sixteen-year battle with breast cancer. Dianna was born on January 24, 1963 in Wenatchee, Washington to Roy and Katharine Langendorf. Dianna spent her early years growing up in Palisades and East Wenatchee before graduating from Wenatchee High School in 1981. On February 21, 1993 Dianna married George (Skip) Sauer in Leavenworth Washington and in 1995 they moved to Elko Nevada. They raised four children in Elko, before moving to Tonasket Washington in 2007.

A tireless worker, Dianna held many jobs over the years, everything form recess "potty mommy" at the local grade school to a caregiver to the elderly. At her mother's urging in the early 1980's, Dianna attended the Kathleen Peck Modeling and Finishing School in Seattle, but Dianna found she was more comfortable working on her 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 than pursuing a modeling career.

Tall and statuesque with beautiful long red hair, Dianna spent much time babysitting children before ever starting a family of her own. She was quickly nicknamed "Wonder Woman" by those kids who loved her so very much.

Dianna was very much a renaissance woman who excelled at everything she tried in life and took pride in all that she did. A fantastic homemaker, Dianna loved cooking, gardening, camping, fishing, old movies and her dogs Nyla and Snow.

She loved home remodeling projects, owned her own tools and in previous years could often be seen working on a car with her father in law the late Bud Sauer. Dianna was a great bargain hunter and was devoted to shopping at the local thrift and Goodwill stores over the years to which her children benefited greatly.

A wonderful wife, mother, grandma and friend, Dianna was a sweetheart and a jewel who touched so many lives in her shortened life. Dianna's greatest joy of her life were her children and grandchildren in which her love knew no bounds.

Dianna was preceded in death by her father Roy Langendorf, brother Raymond Dahl and sister Christina Velone. Dianna is survived by her husband Skip of Oroville, Washington, daughter Aleshia (Zack) Allen of Spokane, Washington, daughter Krystal Sauer of Oroville, Washington, son Kellen (Kathy) Sauer of Tonasket, Washington, daughter Hannah Sauer of Oroville, Washington, mother Katharine Vanderhyden of Yellville, Arkansas, brother Patrick Dahl of Aloha, Oregon, stepfather Gerald Dahl of Spokane, Washington, and grandchildren Hunter, Mya, Luna, Pyper, and Remi.

A celebration of life will be held by the family at a later date.
