The ultimate purpose of our lives is to love God and love people. Diann Eva Rawe Fox accomplished this faithfully.

Diann peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Wednesday, August 3, 2022, surrounded by her family. Diann was born December 5, 1938, to Carl L. Rawe and Eva M. Lorenz Rawe, in Tillamook, Oregon.

A lifelong resident of Tillamook, Diann grew up on the family dairy farm on Bewley Creek Road. She met Airman Robert G. Fox who was stationed at Mt. Hebo Air Force Base. They met at the Tillamook Roller Skating Rink at the fairgrounds. They married on November 5, 1959, and made their home in Tillamook.

Diann loved Jesus and shared His love with everyone she met. She taught Sunday School for years, preferring the three-five-year-old class and all of her students called her "Grandma Fox." She was very active in the local Stonecroft Christian Women's Club through the years and her weekly Women's Bible Study was the highlight of her week. She was a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church all of her life. Her prayer was that her entire family would know Jesus as their Savior.

Diann loved to travel, especially to Tennessee where Gatlinburg was her favorite destination and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville a close second. She enjoyed making greeting cards for friends and family using her vast collection of rubber stamps and craft supplies. She was an avid reader and enjoyed going out to breakfast and having coffee with her friends.

Diann worked for Dr. Howard Kaliher, MD, as the Office Manager for many years. After the doctor retired, she began a new career at T.C.C.A. Retail Gift Shop, where she excelled at helping her customers find "just the right" gift. After retiring, she and Robert continued to travel and spend time with their family.

Diann is survived by her loving husband, Robert; her three children, Shelley Hurliman, Angela Fox, and Michael (Jackie) Fox, all of Tillamook; her four grandchildren, Christopher Hurliman (ReaAnne), Lesley Wilson (Chad), Vincent Fox, and Victoria Fox; and four great-grandsons, Edward and Sammy Wilson, and Logan and Cameron Hurliman. Diann is also survived by her niece, Tia Rawe; and her aunt, and dearest friend, Leilani Crowston.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and brother, Carl L. Rawe, Jr.
