Dianne L. (Quass) Redenius, 61, Whitewater, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 22, 2015, at home with her family by her side after a long, courageous battle with brain cancer. Dianne was born in Fort Atkinson, on Jan. 7th, 1954, to Harold Quass and Patricia (Calhoun) Quass. She graduated from Whitewater High School in 1972, and worked 34 years at General Motors in Janesville, retiring in 2007. She was member of the United Auto Workers UAW Local 95 and truly enjoyed working with the employees at GM where she made many friends. She enjoyed vacationing, gardening, shopping, eating out and spending time with her friends and family, particularly her grandchildren. She had a remarkable laugh that was contagious and love to tell jokes and pull pranks. She was an avid animal lover and had many beloved pets throughout the years. She was especially close to her mother, Patricia Quass of Whitewater, and lifetime friend, Deb (Beardsley) Elertson of Holcombe.

She was preceded by death by her father, Harold Quass.
