Dian had one Sister who was also named Dorthy. Dian, her sister, and their mother were avid horse fans, with both girls taking riding lessons and competing. She attended Benson High School (Omaha, NE) then went on to UNO and got her master’s degree. After graduating she went back to Benson to teach physical education for 6 years.

In 1969 Dian moved to Lincoln, NE. In 1973 Dian Met Paul and they got married in July of 1976  she then decided to start a career with Tupperware where for the next 20 years she enjoyed Showing and selling their products, meeting and making many friends, even becoming a manager with the company .

In 1993 Dian decided to quit Tupperware and try her hand as a Financial Consultant. In 2000, Paul and Dian decided it was time to retire and they spent the next 14 years traveling to and through a number of states in their RV: golfing, riding bicycles, and making friends. Arizona was their favorite stop and they ended up staying there for three months at a time.

In 2014 they decided to retire the RV and stay closer to home in Lincoln. Dian continued to keep up her love of bicycling from her and Paul going to the local bike trails on her two-wheeler, then her tricycle (3 wheeled bike), and then to the stationary bike in the basement as her health permitted.
