Diane (Lemanchek) Molanders, age 55 of Two Rivers, passed away peacefully Tuesday evening, March 23, 2021 at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison, following complications of Covid-19 pneumonia.

Diane was born August 26, 1965 in Two Rivers to Leah (Beitzel) Lemanchek and the late Robert J. Lemanchek. She attended Two Rivers Public Schools where she graduated from Washington High School, then furthered her education at Lakeshore Technical College. For the past 27 years Diane worked as a customer service representative for Treehouse Foods and prior employment included Paragon Electric Company and the Estran Corporation in Two Rivers. She loved playing golf and enjoyed bowling in several leagues, and was always up for a game of cribbage or hand of sheepshead. In her spare time, Diane loved to socialize with friends, and also liked refurbishing old furniture out of her home.

She is survived by her son, Justin Molanders (special friend, Taylor Brown) of Two Rivers; her mother, Leah Lemanchek of Two Rivers; step-daughters, Melissa (Jeremy) Dorey and Jessica (Kevin) Arrington, all of Jacksonville, Texas; and she was fondly known as "Lolly" to Tanner, Madison, Brintley, and Wade. She is further survived by one sister & brother-in-law, Debra (John) Byrd and one brother & sister-in-law, Michael (Tonjia) Lemanchek, all of Two Rivers; special nieces: Barbara Byrd, and Chrystal Lemanchek (fiancé, Edison Thao) and their son, Vincent; former husband and father of Justin: Michael R. Molanders of Tool, Texas; other relatives and many friends also survive. She was preceded in death by her father, Bob Lemanchek; and her paternal and maternal grandparents.

The support has been overwhelming and very much appreciated by our entire family.
