Diana L. Irwin

Diana Lynn Irwin, age 75, of Clare, Michigan, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loved ones on January 15, 2026. She was born on August 15, 1950, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Diana was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest Holton and Bernadette Holton (Blanchard), and her brothers, Dennis and Jerry. She is survived by her beloved husband, Loren Irwin; her siblings Larry, Jim, Sue, Judy, Deb, Patty, Sandy, and Tammy; and her children Charlie (Paula), Patsy (Todd), Bobby (Kelly), Damon (Michelle), and Jason (Julie). Diana was a proud and loving grandmother—affectionately known as Maggie—to Nancy (Michael), Christopher (Amanda), Christina (Brandon), Kayla (Richard), Andrew, Chelsea, Gracelyn, Hannah (James), Morgan, Wyatt, Dylan, Emaline, Andi, and Sam. Being “Maggie” was one of her greatest joys, and she poured endless love, creativity, and laughter into each of their lives. Her home, her hugs, and her steady presence created memories her grandchildren will carry with them forever. She was also blessed with many great-grandchildren: Jae, Kenneth, Layla, Damein, Leelynd, Max, Maci, Aubree, Nevaeh, Serenity, David, Hayli, Braxton, Jaxson, Valkyrie, and Ava, each of whom brought her immense joy. Diana was also a devoted and cherished aunt to many nieces and nephews, each of whom she loved as her own. She took pride in being present for them, offering warmth, laughter, guidance, and her unmistakable wit. Her role as “Aunt Diana” was one she wore proudly, and she leaves behind countless memories of love, humor, and heartfelt connection that will be treasured for generations. Diana spent her working years as a gardener at a nursery and treasured her summers at the campground. She had a lifelong love for creating and could craft just about anything—painting, sewing, cooking, gardening, and camping were among her favorite pastimes. Diana never met a bargain she couldn’t conquer, with Ponderosa holding a special place in her heart—especially when it came with a “doggie bag,” better known as her purse. Those who knew Diana will remember her as kind, witty, caring, crafty, and fiercely loving. She was quick-witted, intuitive, beautifully stubborn, and had a sharp sense of humor that kept everyone on their toes. Her presence filled rooms with laughter, warmth, and creativity. Diana will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Visitation will be held at Stephenson-Wyman Funeral Home in Clare, Michigan. Family visitation will take place on Monday, January 19, 2026 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and again from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. A funeral service in honor of Diana will take place at the funeral home on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., with a luncheon to follow.
