Tribute

Due to complications from a previous heart attack, Dianne Cecelia Van Der Ende went to Heaven on September 2, 2016.

She was preceded in death by her father Raymond Morris, her mother Julia Morris, and two sisters Evette and Mary Morris. She is survived by her loving husband of 42 years Tom Van Der Ende, her six children, 18 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, seven siblings and multiple nieces and nephews.

Dianne and her husband Tom co-pastored at Sonrise Foursquare Church in Wilbur. She loved her church family very much. She also loved and enjoyed the Bible and encouraging others through it, as well as her flower garden and the many birds she fed in her yard. However, camping was her favorite thing to do. We find solace in that she was out camping when our Lord and Savior took her home.

Dianne left a legacy of love, she truly knew how to love unconditionally. She was a person who earnestly lived by what she believed. People would often say how they felt God's love through her. She loved greatly and was loved by many.

Her Celebration of Life service will be held at Sonrise Church in Wilbur on Saturday, September 17 at 11 a.m., and all who knew her are welcome.

Her husband and all those who were close to her are very thankful for the extra three years that God gave us with her. We were blessed to be loved and taught what true love is by her. Two of her favorite Scriptures were II Timothy 1:7 and Isaiah 40:31.
