Diana L. LaRock

Diana L. LaRock, age 79, of Hugo, MN, was welcomed into Heaven on July 3, 2025. A beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, and Friend, Diana will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Cyrill and Victoria Dreawves; her sisters, Geraldine Primus and Marlene Wanner; and her brother, Francis Dreawves.

Diana is survived by her children, Leon (Brenda) LaRock and Danielle (Kavin) Koolmo; her grandchildren, Ashley (Jacob) Carpenter, Courtney (Collin) Carpenter, Hannah LaRock, Morgan LaRock, Brandan (Ashley) Koolmo, and Alyssa (Mason) Hendrickson; and her great-grandchildren, Jaxon, Jayce, Ava, Weston, and Ole.

Diana was born on January 27, 1946, in St. Paul, MN, to Cyrill and Victoria Dreawves. She graduated from Archbishop Murray Memorial High School in 1964 and later from Rasmussen Business School, launching her career in computers as a keypunch card operator for the 5th Fighter Intercept Squadron of the U.S. Air Force in Minot, ND. After returning to Minnesota, she worked for the University of Minnesota and later for the State of Minnesota's community college system, retiring in 2005.

Growing up, Diana spent summers at the family cabin on Bass Lake near Sandstone, MN, where she developed a love for fishing and the outdoors. She especially enjoyed horseback riding, including memorable trips to Wyoming and Utah. Diana was also an active member of her community, serving as a catechism teacher at St. Joseph Church and a Den Mother for her son’s Cub Scout pack.

Above all, Diana cherished her family. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and treasured the time she spent with them.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff at Cerenity Memory Care for their loving care during Diana’s final months.

Her life will be celebrated in a private family service later this fall.
