Bacon

Diane Kay Bacon of Colon, MI passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. She was born in Kalamazoo on May 27, 1954 the second daughter of Pearlie and Charlene Vanatti. She had two sisters, Kathy Sandberg of Florida and Tammy Vanatti who preceeds her in passing. She married Rocky Bacon on April 8, 1971 and were married 25 years and remained friends and occasional fishing partners. Together they had three daughters; Melissa Bacon, Shellie Bacon-Allabach, and Nikki (Billy) Lemacks all of Vicksburg. They gave Diane 11 grandchildren; Anthony (Abby) Fuller, Jordon Fuller, Dustin (Amanda) Fuller, Shenira (Zach) Jones, Mikayla (Kyle) Calhoun, Jacob Allabach, Shaylie Allabach, Rocklynn Allabach, Dylan (Ashton) Glass, Jaden Lemacks, and Braedyn Lemacks; and 9 great-grandchildren. She had several nieces and nephews who all loved her dearly.

Diane was a Godly woman who wanted you to have a personal relationship with the Lord. For she wants to see us all in heaven. She loved helping others and was an avid crafter. She could make almost anything into a work of art. Diane loved animals and rescued many. She enjoyed the view of runway lights, nighttime city skylines, and fireworks. If she had a song to dedicate, it would be “I want us to be together in Heaven” for there was never an encounter with her that you didn’t talk about Jesus and his love and his return.
