Diane Jean Goble, 80, of Greeley, CO died July 6, 2012 in Greeley after a brief illness.
She was born in Greeley on April 12, 1932 to John Mitzel and Martha (Zimbelman) Mitzel. Diane graduated from Prospect Valley High School in 1949 and married her high school sweetheart, Jack Goble, in a garden wedding on June 26, 1953 at the Mitzel farm in Prospect Valley.
After a brief stay in San Antonio, Texas while Jack was serving in the U.S. Air Force, they moved to the farm in Prospect Valley where they farmed in partnership with Diane's parents and raised their family. They retired to Greeley in 2001. Diane was a dedicated wife and mother, helping and encouraging all her children and Grandkids through school activities, 4-H, scouts, FFA, SE Weld Jr. Fair and Rodeo, and school sports.

Diane - My heritage is German - Russian. Many contributors (primarily my cousin, Bob Zimbelman) have given good accounts of the influx of our people and the various routes they took to the Valley. My grandfathers, Heinrich Mitzel and John Zimbelman, both homesteaded in northern Weld County near Keota. My father, John Mitzel, worked for farmers in that area while growing up. It was also here that he met and married Martha Zimbelman. In addition to working locally he, along with his older brother, worked as migrant beet workers for farmers near Loveland. In 1935, my folks moved to the Valley and leased a farm for several years until they had the opportunity to purchase it. I attended Prospect Valley School for all twelve grades.
