Diane Kay Schreiber the daughter of Otto and Maurine (Kendall) Kiertzner was born on July 12, 1947, in Davenport, Iowa. She grew up on the family farm north of Battle Creek, Iowa and graduated from Battle Creek High School with the class of 1965. Diane went on to further her education at Clarinda Community College.

Diane married Al Schreiber and the couple were blessed with two sons Judd and Andrew. The couple would later part ways. Diane was active in her community. In her younger year’s she drove the Battle Creek Ambulance and held various positions on the Ambulance Board.

You might remember her kind voice as an Ida County Dispatcher, Jailer, or her friendly smile and warm heart as she helped the handicapped at Ida Sheltered Industries; where she served as a counselor and later the residential director before she retired. Diane was presently serving on the Board of Directors for Ida Sheltered Industries.  

Diane cherished her family and adored her grandchildren. She could be spotted attending the local school sporting events or rooting on her Cyclones. Diane was a lifelong devoted member of the First Presbyterian Church of Battle Creek.

Diane enjoyed driving her golf cart, visiting, playing cards, and golfing in her youth. She was a devoted mother and grandmother. Diane’s compassion, advice and generosity will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons Judd (Kim) Schreiber of Battle Creek and Andrew (special friend Mandy Taggart) of Ida Grove; grandchildren Austin Schreiber and Autumn Schreiber, Madison Schreiber and Sydney Schreiber; an aunt Phyllis Fox; nephew Joel and niece Kristen; extended family and numerous friends.

Diane was preceded in death by her parents Otto and Maurine Kiertzner; twin brother David Kiertzner; granddaughter Makayla Mae; and uncle Quill Fox.

“Dear Ones,
Oh, the fun we had with the Kiertzners! I remember meeting David and Diane when they came to our house in Ottie's big arms with Maurine close behind. It must have been a big event given I was 2 or 3. From that time on our families spent lots of fun fun times together. Her passion of helping others and awesome smile will be greatly missed.
I hope you will be comforted by your fond memories of her.”
