Diane Marie Schuler, age 62 of Placitas, New Mexico, formerly of Monroe and Madison, was called to her eternal resting place on March 17, 2017.

She entered this world on June 29, 1954 in Monroe, the daughter of the late Bobbie and Evelyn (Bloom) Schuler. Diane was confirmed at Immanual E.U.B. Church in Monroe (now Monroe United Methodist Church) and graduated from Monroe High School in 1972.

She began her career at Wisconsin Power and Light (currently Alliant Energy), in her parent's footsteps, as a Junior Clerk. While advancing to new positions within the company, she obtained her B.S. in Business from Edgewood College in 1991 and Executive M.B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004.

She culminated her career at Alliant Energy as Director of Energy Delivery Resources, retiring in 2014 after 40 years of service.

In April 2014, she and her husband, Craig Gibbs, relocated to Placitas, NM. Diane adored her kitties and throughout her life supported many animal shelters, particularly Best Friends Animal Sanctuary (Utah) where she volunteered numerous times. She was a docent and friend at the Coronado Historic Site (Bernalillo, NM) and active with the charitable organization, Jardineros de Placitas, while on committee for community service. She tirelessly participated as a volunteer at the Placitas Community Library while serving on its board. Her most recent venture was as a DJ hosting the "All Things '70s Show" at KUPR 99.9FM radio station in Placitas.

Diane is lovingly survived by her husband, Craig Gibbs of Placitas, NM; and a sister, Rebecca (Scott) Feldt of Monroe.

Memorial services will be held on Wednesday, May 17, 2017, at 11:00 a.m., at the Monroe United Methodist Church, 2227 4th Street, with Pastor Randy Booth officiating. Visitation will be at the church on May 17 from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the Green County Humane Society or Monroe United Methodist Church.
