Diane Bennett

Diane Bennett 1958-2008 Diane Bennett passed away peacefully September 13, 2008 at age 50. Her struggles with various health problems and addiction are now over. Diane was born July 18, 1958 to Robert Owen and Virginia Marie Woodall Bennett, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Diane had a passion for caring for people. Even as a mother of four she ran a daycare, was an EMT, brought 911 service to Iron County, and put herself through nursing school. She loved the elderly and cared for her grandmother and father in their last years. Diane felt that her greatest accomplishment was in her four children, and she was very proud of everything they did. We are very proud of her and especially her last several months with us. Everyone that met Diane loved her. We will miss her wild laugh, many animals, fun drawings, diverse hairdos, thrift store shopping sprees, giant cedar chest, enduring faith, and forgiving heart. Most of all, we will miss her love. Diane is preceded in death by her father, Robert Owen Bennett and brother, Robert Allen Bennett. She is survived by her mother, Virginia Marie Bennett; children: John LeRoy (Jamie) Dillier, Heidi Diane Dillier (Mike Farrell), Joseph Peter (Stephani) Dillier III, Jennifer Marie (Nathan) Chipping; her childrens father, Joseph Peter (Jennifer) Dillier II; siblings: Penny Marie (Steven) Talbot, Arlene (Richard) Winkelman, Virginia Martin and James Owen (Erin) Bennett. Diane's greatest joy at the end of her life came in spoiling her grandchildren: Alex (3 yrs), Lily (1 yr), and Max (3 mos).
