Diane Pol, the wife of Dr. Jan Pol from the popular reality TV series “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” has faced several personal challenges in recent years. One of the most significant was the loss of her grandson, Adam James Butch, in 2019. Adam was the son of Diane and Dr. Pol’s daughter, Kathleen “Kathy” Pol. This tragic event deeply affected Diane and her family, as they were very close-knit. Adam, who worked as a pharmacy technician, had battled with depression for a long time before his passing.

Additionally, Diane also experienced the loss of her son-in-law, Gregory “Greg” Butch, who was married to her daughter Kathy. Greg passed away in February 2016 after a prolonged battle with cancer.

Despite these hardships, Diane Pol has continued her work as the office manager at Pol Veterinary Services, a clinic she started with her husband. She has a background in teaching, having earned a degree at Michigan State University, and initially taught at Harbor Beach Elementary School before joining her husband in the veterinary business. Diane Pol is not a veterinarian herself but grew up in an animal-loving family and plays a crucial role in the management of the clinic.

The Pol family, including Diane, is known for their strong bond and mutual support, which has helped them navigate these difficult times. While there have been speculations about Diane’s health and absence from certain aspects of the show, it’s important to respect her privacy and understand that health matters are personal.

Diane and Dr. Pol met in high school when he was an exchange student, and they have been married since 1967. They have three adopted children and have built a successful veterinary practice together. Despite the challenges, Diane Pol remains a vital part of her family’s life and the veterinary clinic​​​​​​​​​
