Diane Baum Miller passed away June 24, 2005. Mom was born and raised in Monroe County, Illinois, April 20th, 1928.
She was very well educated, receiving her masters degree in Occupational Therapy at Washington University Medical School in St. Louis, Missouri. She spoke Spanish and German fluently.
She Married Dad on May 18th, 1956 in Mt. Vernon, IL. We lived in New Jersey, California (she taught school there), Montana, and then SLC, which they both loved. She worked at the McKay Dee and Benchmark Hospitals. Her friends, co-workers, and patients all dearly loved her, and she loved them all in return.
Dad passed away in 1971 leaving her to raise five children by herself; she was a wonderful mom. She was a unique, eclectic, beautiful, and extremely loving individual. She had many, many artistic talents, playing the organ and flute, crocheting, painting and leatherwork to name a few. She also volunteered at the Senior Center to teach pottery. Her greatest love in life were her children and grandchildren. Mom loved the excitement of being with her family and friends and didn't care if it took all week long to clean up after a fun filled weekend with the grandkids. She loved everyone unconditionally. She was truly a one-of-a-kind grandma. She will be deeply missed by all whose hearts she has touched.
Preceded in death by husband, Arlen; sons, David, and Shane; and brother, Butch. Survived by children, Cindy (Rocky), Shawn (Ross), and Geoff (Launa); brothers, Harold (Rosalie), Duane (Arlene); and many dear grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Services will be held on Tuesday, June 28th, 2005, 2 p.m. at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 South Highland Drive, where friends and family may call on Monday from 6-8 p.m. and Tuesday at 12:45-1:45 prior to the services. Interment, Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
