Diane Romatowski Obituary
Diane Howard Romatowski, 69, of Findlay, passed away peacefully Thursday, February 13, 2025, after a courageous battle with colorectal cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family in her final days.
Diane was born on September 5, 1955, in Savannah, Georgia, to Joann and William Poma. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt and grandmother, known for her generosity, warmth, kindness, and dedication to her family and friends.
Diane was married to the love of her life, Edward "Skeeter" Romatowski, and together they built a strong and loving family. In their free time, Diane and Skeeter enjoyed riding the Harley, weekend getaways, traveling, spending time with their grandchildren and attending events with some of their closest friends and family members.
Diane is survived by her daughter, Kelsi (Sam) Adams; her son, Jeremi (Amber) Howard; and several grandchildren. Diane was also a cherished sister to Cindy and Bill Poma.
A passionate lover of animals, Diane found great joy in the companionship of her dog, Rylie. She loved spending time with her close-knit family and friends and took great pride in watching her grandchildren grow. Diane was unselfishly giving, which was evident to everyone who knew her.
In honor of Diane's memory, donations may be made to Colontown, an organization dedicated to supporting those affected by colon cancer or Bridge Home Health & Hospice.
Family will receive friends from 3:30-6 p.m. Friday, February 21, 2025, at Kirkpatrick-Behnke Funeral Home.
A celebration will also be at a later date and will be open to friends and family. Everyone who knew Diane is encouraged to remember her in their hearts and keep her family in their thoughts during this difficult time.
Diane will be dearly missed by all who knew her, and her memory will live on in the love she shared with her family, her unwavering strength, and the laughter she brought to those around her. To know Diane was to love her.
