DIANE QUERRY MANSFIELD

Diane Querry Mansfield, 63, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 27, 2018, in Salt Lake City, Utah, at home, surrounded by her family.

She was born to David and Audrey Querry on Jan. 21, 1955, in Martinsburg. Her parents gave Diane and her brother Brian a family life of fun, adventure and love. She grew up in the lovely Pennsylvania countryside, riding horses, playing in the woods, sledding, fishing, and hiking. Sundays were filled with church and afternoon drives with ice cream.

Diane graduated from Central High School in Martinsburg in 1972 and earned a B.S. degree in elementary education from Millersville University in 1976. She then moved to Salt Lake City to obtain a master's degree in human resource management and economics at the University of Utah.

In Utah, she met the love of her life, Dennis Burton Mansfield. Despite her lack of skiing skills, they were married within a year, on Oct. 10, 1980. Together they raised three wonderful children: Mauri Lynn (Matthew) Dressman of Seattle, Washington; Chase David of Salt Lake City; and Lindy Anne (CJ Jedrziewski) of Salt Lake City. She is survived by three grandsons with two more on the way; her brother, Brian D. Querry (Kimberly) of State College ,; two wonderful nieces, Kendal and Shelby; a sister-in-law, Ann Baker of Salt Lake City; and numerous extended family members. She was preceded in death by her parents and infant sister.

As a beloved wife and mother, Diane enjoyed the outdoors, family adventures and traveling to beautiful places, especially Hawaii. She was a wonderful host of gatherings for family and friends, and was known as gracious, kind and loving. She was intelligent and strong and her decision making abilities were highly regarded by all.

Diane cherished her 30-year career at Questar Corp., beginning as an intern and retiring as vice president of human resources. She was extremely proud to serve on the Board of Directors for Mountain America Credit Union for 27 years. She was also a member of many other esteemed boards and committees, such as the University of Utah Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees. In 2010, the Salt Lake Chamber presented Diane with the Pathfinder Award for her support of women in business. She empowered her community with support and volunteer work.

She was an active member of the Christ United Methodist Church and lived life like every day was a gift and a blessing. Diane and her family are grateful to the wonderful Huntsman Cancer Institute Oncology team that guided her and provided comfort and friendship over the past 10 years: Dr. Weis; Nicole; Judy; Nancy; and many others.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m. today, Thursday, Jan. 3, at Christ United Methodist Church, 2375 East 3300 South, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Interment will be at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
