Dianne was born Oct. 2, 1946, in Albuquerque, N.M., to Vernon and Naomi Skrivseth. Dianne believed that life was a dance full of twists and turns and fluid motions. She was always ready to try new things, take on new risks and meet new people.

She was an active leader and participant in numerous civic and

social organizations. She enjoyed creating her wearable art, dancing the tango and playing pickleball, but most of all, she loved her time spent with her kids and grandkids.

She is survived by sons, Tim (Erin) and Brad (Michelle) Day; father, Vernon Skrivseth; sisters, Marilyn Skrivseth (Bill Barry) and Jan (Harvey) Walkoviak; brothers, Craig (Kathy) Skrivseth and Glen (Stephanie) Skrivseth; grandchildren, Logan, Lacey, Allie, Noah and Michael Day; nieces, Bree Rice, Jenna Walkoviak, Laura and Jackie Skrivseth; nephews, Paul and Luke Skrivseth; and uncle, Milt Skrivseth.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis; and her mother, Naomi Skrivseth.
