Dianne Marie Clavin Trent, 53, was one of the victims of the December 5, 2007 mass shooting at the Von Maur department store in Omaha’s Westroads Mall. A longtime Omaha resident who had returned to the city about eight years earlier after her husband Pete died, she lived alone in a northwest Omaha townhouse with a small dog and two cats. Neighbors described her as incredibly sweet; she enjoyed tending flowers on her porch and sharing tea with friends.

Dianne worked in customer service at Von Maur. While on the phone with a 911 dispatcher trying to report the shooting and get help for others, she was fatally wounded. She is remembered by family as a thoughtful sister and aunt who put others first; her niece said Dianne could have sought safety but chose to stay and make the emergency call. Her survivors include a brother, four sisters and 23 nieces and nephews.
