June 19, 1947 – October 30, 2019
Diane Lee Schumacher, 72, of Georgetown, TX; cherished wife, loving mother and best Mimi in the world, left her Earthly body Wednesday, October 30th at 7:23 PM after a complicated surgery, surrounded by her family, to wait for us in Heaven.
Diane was born to Luther and Helen on June 19, 1947 in Madison, Wisconsin, but was adopted by Harold and Edith Gottschall when she was three years old and became Diane Lee Gottschall. Diane was blessed to grow up in rural Highland Wisconsin on a dairy farm with her adopted siblings. She had a pet cow named Sadie that she rode every day to round up all of the heifers for milking. Diane attended Strawberry grade school, which was a one room school, and graduated from Highland High School. She loved her simple country life.
Diane met the love of her life when she was 18 years old in 1966 when David Schumacher saw a beautiful girl across the room and said, “That is the girl I’m going to marry,” and marry they did on June 3, 1967 on his birthday. Eventually, they had three children; Stan, Jason and Rachel. In the winter of ’81,’82, after 6 weekends in a row of blizzards in Minnesota, the family decided to pick up and move South, ending up in Georgetown, TX. Diane’s professional life was that of a business owner; Round Rock Video, Georgetown Video and Pflugerville Video brought some entertainment to thousands of families. When she was finished with being a successful business owner, Diane turned her focus to what comes most natural to her, caring for others. She devoted the rest of her working life to home nursing care and Hospice services.
Diane loved the beauty of the world and the people in it. Diane was full of love and compassion. If someone had a need, she was there meeting that need. Diane gave all of herself selflessly and with all of her heart. She is greatly missed and her memories will continue to warm hearts and spread love until we meet again.
Diane is survived by her loving husband of 52 years David Schumacher of Georgetown, TX, Children; Stanly Schumacher and wife Laura, Jason Schumacher and Daughter Rachel Brunson all of Georgetown, Grandchildren; Dakota, Kassidy, Taylor, Baylee, Hannah and Caleb, Great Grandchildren; Kayleigh of CO and Collin of CA, her biological sisters; Claudette of OH, Gail of WI, Patricia of MN, and Debbie of WI, adopted sisters; Joyce and Linda of WI, and nieces, nephews, cousins and so many more.
