Diana Sue Brown

Diana Sue (Leeke) Brown, 60, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at home with her husband on April 30, 2026, at 8:02 a.m.

Born on May 29, 1965, in South Bend, Indiana, Diana graduated from Clay High School in 1983.

She married the love of her life, Roger Brown, in 1991. The couple moved to Green Bay in 2000 when Roger’s job was relocated. She embraced her new home and immediately immersed herself in the community.

Diana was a free spirit who encouraged everyone she had a relationship with to enjoy life and live it to its fullest. If someone had a dream, she urged them to pursue it, believing nothing was impossible. A devoted, loving wife, mother, and grandmother, her greatest joy was her family. Her focus in life was being there for her family and friends — ready to listen, talk, and offer unwavering support. Her strong faith in God was an important part of her life. After years of bravely battling addiction — a struggle she was open about —she found victory in her later years and devoted herself fully to her family. Before she became a full-time homemaker focused on her family in 1998, she worked as a title clerk at a car dealership, as a bank teller, and at facilities that cared for special needs children. While being a homemaker she volunteered at Ballard Elementary in Niles, MI, and Doty Elementary in Allouez, WI, tutoring children and assisting teachers in her son’s classes.

Diana was known for her bright, outgoing personality and her ability to light up any room. She was the life of the party—quick with a smile, a story, or a laugh. She cherished her friends, loved her family, and had a special soft spot for her animals. She loved the beach and being by the water, finding peace and joy near the waves. Her energy, kindness, and love for life left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Roger Brown; her sons, Ryan Brown and Tyler Brown; her daughters-in-law, Sofiya Brown and Alicia Brown; and her cherished grandchildren, Olivia, Virginia, Amelia, Jack, Fiona, Eliza, and Jonah.

Diana was preceded in death by her parents Albert and Carol (Minder) Leeke. She is also survived by her sisters Darlene (Leeke) and Terry Nivens, and her sister, Debra (Leeke) Roberts. She is also an Aunt who is survived by Steven, Alaina, Megan, Randi, Robby, Jessie, Jamie, and Dale.

The visitation will be held on Friday, May 8th at 9:30am at Resurrection Catholic Parish in Allouez, WI. The funeral Mass will begin at 11:00am. Afterward, the burial will be at the Allouez Catholic Cemetery.

Diana’s love, laughter, and vibrant spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
