Diane Diekemper Burchard

Diane Diekemper Burchard passed away Wednesday, March 20th, 2024. Family and friends will celebrate her life with a casual gathering on Monday, March 25th at Lake Ridge Chapel & Memorial Designers between 2 and 4 p.m.

Diane, aka “The Momma,” had a beautiful spirit. She was a deeply empathetic person who loved wholly. She was infinitely creative and skilled at everything from stained glass to weaving to paper making and crafting — skills she often used to make beautiful, custom gifts for loved ones. She loved animals, and animals loved her. She was a dedicated daughter, sister, and aunt who put others before herself and always knew how to bring a smile to those around her.

Most importantly, Diane was the best mom two sons could ever ask for. She was selfless and kind, strong and supportive. She was and forever will be their biggest fan, and she made them the men they are today.

Diane is survived by her sons Jason (Anna) Burchard and Jeremy Burchard, and her sisters Lou Ann (Pieter) Bergstein and Mia (Gerry) Maddoux.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to a favorite charity to continue spreading Diane’s message of love and kindness.
