Diane Benedict Prestemon was born on July 28, 1932 in Frederic, WI, the daughter of Percival E. and Gladys Teresa (Hanevold) Benedict. She spent her early years in the Black River Falls, WI area and moved with her family to Waukon when she was a junior in high school, graduating from Waukon High School in 1950. She went to work for NW Bell as a long distance operator. On December 20, 1953 she married Richard Gordon "Dick" Prestemon at St. John's Lutheran Church in Waukon. They moved to Ames, IA where Dick completed college and Diane worked for NW Bell again. While Dick was in the service, Diane spent a year and a half with him living in Germany. Following Dick's discharge in October of 1956, they moved to Des Moines where Diane worked for Bell Labs for 5 years. For the next 3 years they lived in Dallas Center, IA before moving to Waukon in 1966, where they have lived ever since. For the past 10 years, Diane and Dick have enjoyed spending the winters in Ocala and Williston, FL. Diane was never one to stay idle long and worked in a variety of areas.
