A beloved resident of Greeley, Colorado, Diane Nieto passed away on December 5, 2025, at the age of 68, following complications from a heart procedure. Despite the procedure being considered routine, her body—after years of battling end‑stage kidney and liver failure—could not recover.

She embraced life fully, whether through her love of music, cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals, enjoying cozy movie nights, or sharing stories from her youth. Her resilience was evident in her ability to face years of weekly, life‑saving medical procedures with strength and determination.

She was a mother of three, grandmother to seven, and great‑grandmother to three, pouring her heart into nurturing and guiding her loved ones. Family gatherings were her joy, and she was known for her warmth, humor, and ability to make everyone feel valued.
