Diane Linda Hardekopf, the daughter of Darlene Malenke and the late Alvin 

Hardekopf, was born September 28, 1951 in Worthington, Minnesota.



As a young child, she lived on a farm north of Dundee, Minnesota, until 

her father's death in 1953, when they moved to Fulda. In 1956, she moved 

north of Brewster, Minnesota where she graduated from Brewster Public 

School in 1969. Diane was most recently employed with Polar Temp 

Equipment Inc., a subsidiary of Southeast Cooler Corporation Company of 

Lithia Springs, Georgia. She had worked in the ice industry for 

approximately thirty years, living in Tampa, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; 

Charlotte, North Carolina and San Antonio, Texas. Diane's faith and 

family were the most important in her life. On Monday, May 29, 2006 Diane 

passed away at her home in Universal City, Texas after a very courageous 

year and a half encounter with cancer.



Diane is survived by her mother, Darlene Malenke of Worthington, 

Minnesota; sisters Elaine (Jeffrey) Borning, Rosemount, Minnesota; Linda 

(Gary) Shelton, Savage, Minnesota; Cheryl (Marvin) Mathias, Heron Lake, 

Minnesota; Patricia Hochstein, Universal City, Texas; Judy (Jerry) 

Miller, Olathe, Kansas; brothers Dennis (Bonnie) Malenke, Brownsville, 

Minnesota and Roger (Phyllis) Malenke, Brewster, Minnesota. Also 

surviving are ten nieces and nephews. Her father, Alvin Hardekopf, and 

stepfather Ralph Malenke preceded her in death.

First Lutheran Church, Dundee, Minnesota, with the Rev. Dr. Mark Yackel-

Juleen officiating. Burial will be in the Prairie Hill Cemetery, Fulda, 

Minnesota.
