Diane Patrice Hadd Johnson,71, passed away peacefully after a 17-month courageous battle with pancreatic cancer on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, in the comfort of her home surrounded by family, friends and her beloved dog, Buddy.

Diane was an exceptional wife, sister, mother, grandmother and friend.  She devoted her life to and cherished the time spent with them, especially with her grandchildren. She worked as an intensive-care nurse at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, MN, for nearly 25 years.  She was an avid hiker, camper, biker, seamstress and kayaker, and she particularly loved criminal TV and collecting moose. She was never afraid to try anything new and consequently enjoyed an incredible skill set.

Diane was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints where she served as a teacher, in the bishops' storehouse distributing charitable commodities and as a girls' camp leader and nurse.  Her faith guided her life and fulfilled her greatly.

Diane was preceded in death by her beloved soulmate husband, Wayne Johnson, and her father, Don Hadd.  She is survived by her mother, Mitzi Hadd; her brother, Jerry Hadd (Marilyn); her daughters, Kristina Schweigert (Chad) and Erika Nordstrom and her partner Logan Emond; her son, Karl Nordstrom and stepsons Jeff Eichen and his partner Gretchen Gustafson and  Joel and Josh Eichen; and her grandchildren Haley and Hunter Schweigert, Klaas Okhuijzen and Trevor, Taylor and London Nordstrom.

A memorial service for Diane will be held on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at 11 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints Lakeville Stake Center at 18460 Kachina Ct., Lakeville, MN. A visitation will be held at the church at 10 a.m. prior to the service.

Interment will immediately follow the service at Lebanon Cemetery, 5450 150th St. W. in
