Vivienne Cate Diener

Vivienne Cate Diener was born to Christopher and Christina (Shola) Diener on June 12, 2025. She was baptized on July 13, 2025. The Lord called her home on September 30, 2025.  

Vivienne was the brightest little blessing from God. Her family, including sisters Elaina Cronin, Janelle Cronin, and Chloe Cronin, and brothers Jett Cronin, Tripp Cronin, and Rohann Diener, loved and cared for her very much.  

In the short time we were blessed to have Vivienne with us, she was holding up her head, smiling big, and learning how to giggle. Recently, she enjoyed watching hot air balloons – her eyes were so big and bright taking in all the colors and activity.  

She is survived by her parents and siblings, Grandparents Craig and Sharon Diener, Uncle Cory and Aunt Courtney Diener and cousin Cora, Uncle Brandon Diener, Aunt Kimberly and Uncle Arnold Hanson and cousins Henry, Sterling, Owen, Katharina, Timothy, and Arnold, along with many great aunts and uncles, extended family, and friends.  

She was welcomed into heaven by Jesus and her loving family: Grandfather James Shola; great grandparents Marcus “Nick” and Elizabeth Shola, Lester and Bernice Kendall, Raymond and Viola Diener, Carl and Marion Stettler; Great Uncles Terrence Diener, John Meyer, Michael Siebert,  John Shola, and George Shola; and cousin Stephen Yates.
