Diane Helene Kramer

On July 30th the world lost a gentle, loving, bright and caring lady – Diane Logan Kramer, age 76.

Diane was born in Indianapolis to Rosemary and Louis Logan. She grew up in Broad Ripple, attending School 80, then Broad Ripple High School. As a child she attended Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation where she was Confirmed. Utilizing her special education degree from Indiana State University, she worked as a teacher in the Indianapolis Public Schools.

After marrying Paul Kramer in 1973, the newlyweds moved to the Chicago area where she worked for club pro-racing organizations, traveling around the world as a timing and scoring chief for the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). When that organization wanted Diane to work full time for them, the Kramers moved to Colorado, settling in Parker. After SCAA moved to Kansas, she decided to stay in Colorado, working for Rachel’s Challenge, an anti-bullying, school support organization.

Eventually Diane went out on her own, establishing a very successful bookkeeping business, Total Bookkeeping Operations (TBO) servicing small businesses in the Parker area.

Diane loved cruising, enjoying over 50 experiences on the high seas. Wherever a ship went, she was happy to be aboard, traveling with her husband, sister, mother and friends.

Three years ago Diane and Paul moved to Westfield to be close to family. She quickly integrated herself playing mah jongg and making many friends.

Diane is survived by her husband, Paul F. Kramer, sister Marcia (Marv) Goldstein, Goldstein nieces and nephews Keith (Tammy) Goldstein, Daniel (Amanda) Goldstein and Andrew (Kari) Goldstein, great-nephews and nieces Gavriel, Leah, Ryan, Kevin, Caroline & Vivian. In the Kramer family, she is survived by brother in law Jim (Glenda) as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
