Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Diane Hurst, 87, passed away on November 22, 2017.
She was born February 27, 1930 in Murray to Archie Lewis Tripp and Nellie Opal Gene Booth Tripp.
Diane was raised in Salt Lake City and graduated from East High School. She attended the University of Utah, where she met Donald Hurst, her husband and partner of sixty-seven years. After they were married, they moved to San Francisco, where they started their family, then to Denver, Colorado and Casper, Wyoming before their family of six returned to Salt Lake City.
Diane was a sweet, strong, and determined woman, who, after her children were in school, resumed her education earning a Bachelor's in Education from Westminster College and then later a Master's in Education from the University of Utah. For twenty years, Diane enjoyed teaching fourth and fifth grades at Hillside Elementary School in Granite School District.
She was a fifty-year member of P.E.O., a philanthropic organization that supports the education of women (Chapters AB and N in Salt Lake City).
Diane was a beautiful pianist, often entertaining family and friends and was the accompanist in many school and church programs. She was an avid reader and organized a book club so she could share the experience and enjoy lively discussions. She loved to golf and ski in her younger years and took great pride in her garden in Pepperwood.
Don and Diane enjoyed traveling, especially their road-trips to Palm Springs, where they spent many winters, and to their Bear Lake cabin, where they created wonderful family memories. Don and Diane enjoyed golf and memorable dinners at Willow Creek Country Club, where Diane especially loved long lunches with her girlfriends.
Diane is survived by her brother, Booth A. Tripp; children, Pamela Dennison (Mike), David Hurst (Cathy), William Hurst (Deborah), and Polly Reynolds (Charles); thirteen grandchildren, Kellie Bartz (John), Jonathan Hurst (Rhonda), Jennifer Bauer (Jim), Jessica Yurgaitis (Derek), Matthew Thompson, Donald P. Hurst (Erica), Charles Reynolds IV, Darrah Hurst, David W. Hurst, Elizabeth Reynolds, Amanda Thompson, Cort Dennison, and Emily Dennison; twelve great-grandchildren; and eight nieces and nephews. Diane is preceded in death by her parents and husband (April of 2016).
The family wishes to thank Ellen Christensen, Mackenzie, Alexis, Andrea, Trisha, and Ruth at Quality Home Health and Hospice and all of Diane's caregivers at Cottonwood Place Senior Living.
A celebration of Diane's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 13, 2018 at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 East Dimple Dell Road (10600 South). Friends and family may call beginning at 1:00 p.m.
