Diane Marie Brackey
December 04, 1952 - February 29, 2016

Diane Marie Brackey, 63, of Lake Mills, Iowa, died on Monday, February 29, 2016, at the Lake Mills Care Center.

The middle of five children, Diane Marie was born on December 4, 1952, in Albert Lea, Minnesota, to Marvin and Thelma (Askildson) Brackey Isaacson. Baptized and confirmed at the Synod Lutheran Church in Lake Mills, Iowa, she attended school in Lake Mills, Iowa, as well.

Diane started working when she was fourteen years old at the Maid-Rite in Lake Mills, Iowa. She, later, purchased the Maid-Rite and turned it into The Grand Café where she spent the last twenty-nine years of her life.

Diane and Steve Peterson, long time partners, had two children: Nichole Segura and Scott Brackey Peterson. Diane valued her friends and family. Indeed, she enjoyed cooking and baking for those she loved. Most of all, however, she prized her three grandchildren: Sarah, Rachel, and Jacob, whom she raised until they became young adults.

Diane liked going to the Casino with close friends when she had time off. Her siblings, with whom she shared many priceless memories, meant the world to her.

Known for her friendly nature and her ability to visit with any stranger or friend, Diane made sure no one ever found life boring around her. Also known as a “trickster,” she was sure to keep it that way.

She was preceded in death by her son, Scott Brackey Peterson; her father, Marvin Brackey; her brother, Danny Brackey; her longtime partner, Steve Peterson; and her special uncle, Vernon (Snookie) Brackey; as well as many other special friends.

Diane is survived by her daughter, Nichole (Benjamin) Segura; her grandchildren, Sarah, Rachel, and Jacob; her parents, Thelma and Raymond Isaacson; and her siblings, Patti (David) Hissam, Deb Bergland, and Robert (Julie) Brackey; as well as by many nieces, nephews, one great-great niece, and Wendy Bendickson Grier, whom she loved like a daughter. Indeed, her friends and family were her pride and joy.

Funeral service will be held at 1:30 PM, Saturday, March 5, 2016, at Salem Lutheran Church in Lake Mills, Iowa, with Pastor David Emmons officiating. Visitation will be from 4:00 to 7:00 PM, Friday evening, at Salem Lutheran Church, 401 S Lake Street, Lake Mills, Iowa 50450, and again one hour prior to the service at the church on Saturday. Burial will take place at the Lake Mills Synod Lutheran Cemetery in Lake Mills, Iowa.
