Diane Emily Hogan

Hogan, Diane E. Our wonderful and dearly loved "Lady Di", age 65, of Plymouth, MN, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2021, while in hospice at Our Lady of Peace after a 4-year battle with sarcoma cancer. Diane was preceded in death by her parents, Gloria Cherne Hogan and Dr. Dennis E. Hogan. She was born in Minneapolis on September 30, 1955, and grew up in Hopkins and Edina, MN. She graduated from St. Margaret's Academy and attended the University of Minnesota where she was a member of the Tri Delta Sorority. Diane began her career as a sales associate for Dayton's and then began a 20+ year career at Murray's Restaurant in downtown Minneapolis as an enthusiastic, attentive and much in-demand and requested server. She was also a sales consultant for Thomasville Furniture in Bloomington. She later became an award-winning super volunteer for the non-profit "Dress for Success, Twin Cities" where her vivacious personality, customer service skills and fashion sensibility allowed her to encourage and dress many women who were entering or re-entering the work force. Diane enjoyed modeling and dancing at charitable events. Diane's vibrant smile attracted all who would meet her and she had a knack for making fast friends. Her spirit was always warm and welcoming. She will be remembered for her huge heart, larger-than-life personality and as a caring, kind, loyal and generous friend. Diane embraced life and faced every challenge with a positive attitude and a smile. She felt blessed to have many friends with whom she enjoyed traveling and sharing evenings out dancing and listening to music at Twin Cities landmarks like Rupert's and Maximillian's. She was especially fond of songs by Tom Jones and Luther Vandross (a close second). Diane was a great thrift store shopper, seeking out the latest fashions at bargain prices. She enjoyed watching her favorite TV shows such as "Bob Heart Abishola", Bravo TV's Housewives episodes, the "Bachelorette" and the "Bachelor" and "Dancing with the Stars". Diane believed in the closeness of family and loved the special times she spent with them. Whether it be hosting her much anticipated Christmas night lasagna dinners where she gathered together many relatives or helping care for her uncles, Tony and Russell and her Aunt Ruth. Diane is loved, deeply missed and survived by her twin brother, Dennis, Aunt Elizabeth Cherne Book and many cousins and friends. Special thanks to her cousin and dear friend, Carol Konigson. Dennis and family would like to offer their heartfelt gratitude for everyone involved with Diane's care at MHealth Fairview, Univ. of MN Hospital and Our Lady of Peace hospice, St. Paul. With their support, and the support and love of her brother, friends and relatives, Diane's last days were filled with comfort, compassion and dignity. A celebration of Diane's life and Memorial Mass will be held Thursday, May 13th, at 2:00 PM at St. Gabriel's Catholic Church (St. John campus), 6 Interlachen Road, Hopkins, MN with visitation 1 hour prior to the service.
