Diane Burke passed away peacefully April 15, 2017 at Spring Creek Healthcare Center in Holladay.
She was born in Tremonton, Utah on June 20, 1934 and spent her youth in Honeyville, having been raised in the loving home of Maudell Seager and Tolman Burke.
Diane left Utah at an early age to pursue a career. After attending and working at Utah State University in the Admissions Office for three years, she moved to Washington, D.C. and worked for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. She spent a short time working in Anchorage, Alaska, then back to Utah to work at Thiokol. But adventure called her again, this time to Denver where she spent the next 20 years working at Frontier Airlines and traveling the world. She eventually moved back to Salt Lake City to continue to work and to be near family. She was a very strong, independent and spirited woman who loved her family. She loved spending time with her nieces and nephews and came home often to be with them.
She was a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Diane is survived by her brother Reed (Barbara) Burke and a brother-in-law, Ferrell Peters, both of Brigham City. Also 7 nieces and nephews and their families.
She is now enjoying an eternal reunion with her parents and sister, Gayle, who preceded her in death.
