Dianna Pequignot CrossDianna Pequignot Cross, age 74, of Warsaw, passed away quietly in her son’s home on Friday, May 7, 2021, at 5:40 p.m.
Born in Chicago Heights, Ill., on Sept. 7, 1946, Dianna was the daughter of the late Harold Junior Bisig and Adaline Woodruff Russell. She essentially grew up on Barbee Lakes and graduated from North Webster High School before attending Indiana University and Ravenscroft Beauty School.
Dianna was feisty and occasionally stubborn but rarely knew a stranger. She was also very giving. She attended Warsaw Community Church when she could and was previously active in the Salvation Army Auxiliary. At home, she enjoyed HGTV, PBS and reading; she also enjoyed word games and is remembered for several special recipes which she often shared with those she cared about most.
Surviving with memories to cherish are two sons: Tyler (Jenny) Pequignot and Todd (Jill) Pequignot, both of Warsaw; five grandchildren: Brandon, Bryce, Noah, Bailey and Brooke; great-grandchildren: Zuri and Logan; sisters: Pat Evans, of Barbee Lake; Janet (Bob) Maloney, of White Pigeon; and Rita (Steve) Hoogenboom, of Elkhart; and brothers: Randy Bisig, of Elkhart; Dan (Mindy) Bisig, of Elkhart; and Hal Bisig, of South Bend.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in passing by her husband, Geoffrey Cross.
