Altevers, Diane Elizabeth age 63, of Florence, Kentucky passed away on Monday, December 27, 2021. She was born in Heidelberg, Germany on October 28, 1958 to the late Clarence D. and Margot Burt (nee Knödler).
Diane was a loving mother, wife, and friend to all those that she met. Her signature was giving a hug no matter what the situation or how well she knew you. Kindness was her constant and knew no bounds and always put others ahead of herself. She shined light into this world of gray even in her darkest moments.
She began her fight with breast cancer in 2017, after winning that fight in stride she was then diagnosed with treatment induced leukemia in May of 2020. After multiple rounds of treatments and a final relapse of her leukemia, Diane made the decision to spend her last Christmas in the comfort of her home with those that she loved most. We are very proud of Diane and her fight and know that she gave it her all every step of the way. She went through more in the past 4 years than most have in their entire lifetime so we can have peace in knowing that she is now free of pain.
Diane is survived by her beloved husband of 38 years, Jim Altevers; children, Taylor (Ethan Wiggins) Altevers, Alexander Altevers, Erica Campbell and Maria (Bret) Witte; in-laws, Mary Ann (Jim) Egan, Diane McFalls, Robert (Sheryl) Altevers, Kathy (Dick) VonLehman, Jeanie (Jack) Halenkamp, Don (Ginger) Altevers and Linda (Tim Duncan) Altevers; grandchildren, Paige Campbell, Joshua Campbell, Vincent Witte, Nolan Witte and Maia Witte; beloved dog, Jake and horse, Bear; and a host of other family members and friends.
