Diane M. Chupp went to be with Jesus on February 7th, 2017, at the age of 57, after an 18 month battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her family as she passed from this world to the next. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend.

Diane is survived by her parents, Charles and Pat (Clark) Mitschelen, Mishawaka; husband, Kenneth W. Chupp, Osceola; children, Karen D. (Timothy) Courliss, Mishawaka, Kevin D. (Jessica) Chupp, Aberdeen, ID, Kelli D. Chupp, Chicago, IL; siblings, Sherri Fuson, Burgaw, NC, Laura (Ronald) Luebcke, Plymouth, Mary Butler, Osceola, David Mitschelen, Austin, TX; grandchildren, Vivienna Belle Courliss, Briella Joy Courliss, and Julietta Grace Courliss.

Diane was born on April 11th, 1959, in Mishawaka, IN, to Charles and Pat (Clark) Mitschelen. She was the second born of five children. She graduated from Bethel College in 1979 with an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. In 1978, she met Ken Chupp on a blind date, and on June 16, 1979, they were married. They had three children together, Diane''s pride and joy.

Many people would describe Diane as confidant. She always had time to listen, and genuinely cared about people. As the pastor''s wife at Warsaw Missionary Church, she partnered with her husband, Ken to serve the congregation there, and many lives were touched and changed by her kindness.

Diane''s other endeavors allowed her to touch peoples' lives as well. Over the course of 20 years, she ran a daycare in her home, was a substitute teacher, and worked as a seamstress out of her home. Her sewing business, Diane''s Sewing, allowed her to do alterations for many people, mostly for special events such as weddings and prom. She had a very loyal customer base, and she even won local awards for her business three years in a row. She cared about her work and loved everyone she came in contact with.

More than anything, Diane was most proud of being a mother and grandmother. Her love for her children and grandchildren was very evident. She passed onto them her creativity, her love of learning, and her graceful love.

Diane''s faith in and love for God, even in the midst of her cancer battle were extremely admirable. She never wavered in her faith, which is a beautiful testimony to those who survive her. She clung to God''s promises and truly had peace that passes understanding. She has left behind a beautiful faith-filled legacy for the next generation.

Diane loved greatly, was greatly loved, and will be greatly missed. Her gentleness, joyful spirit, grace, and quiet strength is unmatched. She pointed everyone she met to Jesus, and now she is with Jesus.

Visitation will be on Saturday, February 11, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. and the funeral is at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 12. Both are at St. Mark Missionary Church, 55240 Bittersweet Road, Mishawaka.
