Diane (Landskov) Kallenbach passed away Tuesday March 8th at St. Mary’s Hospital in Duluth, MN.

Diane was born on July 11, 1940 in an apartment above the lumber yard in Prairie Farm, WI.

She is the daughter of Harvey and Clarice (Larson) Landskov.

Diane graduated from Prairie Farm High School in 1958. After graduation, she attended The School of Cosmetology in Eau Claire, WI. She married her high school sweetheart James Kallenbach on May 9, 1959. Her first job was at The Charm Inn Beauty Salon in Prairie Farm, WI working for Adeline Olson while also helping out on the family farm.

After moving to Barron, WI in 1968, Diane purchased and operated The Pamper Box Beauty Salon for approximately 25 years. She was the first female member of the Barron Chamber of Commerce. She enjoyed Monday Night Sewing Club; not sure much sowing was accomplished but a lot of fun was had! Diane also enjoyed traveling to horse shows with her family.

After retirement Diane and Jim headed northward and settled down in rural Danbury, WI. She enjoyed gardening, spending time at the lake and helping her family flip multiple properties.  After Suzi & Jason moved North and purchased What the Heck, Diane enjoyed helping out, talking to customers and making new friends.

Due to increased health issues, Diane and Jim moved off the lake and closer to Spooner, WI, where she continued her joy of gardening, horses, birdwatching, but most importantly, it allowed her to attend her grandson’s, Theo’s church, school and sporting events when her health allowed.

Diane is survived by her husband, Jim of 62 years; son’s Peter and Dean (Marcus Buggs) of Minneapolis; daughter Suzi (Jason Kohl) and her grandson, Theo Kohl of Spooner, WI. She is also survived by cousins, family and many friends.
