RaeAnne C. LaRush-Diamond, age 32, of New Post, WI, died Wednesday, January 19, 2022.

RaeAnne Chardae St. Germaine LaRush was born December 12, 1989 in Hayward, WI, the daughter of Barbara Baker and Jeff St. Germaine. She was a mother, daughter, sister, auntie, niece, granddaughter and the dearest friend. Rae loved her family with every fiber of her being and if you were lucky enough to be close to her you got to feel what it meant to be genuinely loved, appreciated and thought of. She had the ability to lift anyone's spirit with her beautiful smile, contagious laugh and her playful spirit. Rae loved deeply, laughed until she cried and was always the person you could count on to be there for you. She shared so much with everyone, always willing to give everything she had. Countless memories were made of road trips, dancing all night and inside jokes. A notorious inside joke shared between Rae and her dad Bodie – being sharp as a rock. May Rae always be remembered for her kindness, selflessness and most of all her stunning beauty – inside and out.

She is survived by her parents Barb and Jeff; daughter SaTahya Crone; grandmother Pearl Baker; sisters Amber St. Germaine & Pamela St. Germaine; brothers Josh LaRush, Eric Clause, William St. Germaine, Anthony St. Germaine, Joseph St. Germaine & Brian LaRush; many nieces, nephews & cousins.

RaeAnne was preceded in death by her dad Alan "Bodie" LaRush; sister Jennifer Miller; grandmothers Ellen Gordon & Alberta Peterson St. Germaine; grandfathers William Baker & Francis Joseph St. Germaine; and uncle Douglas Baker
