Diane Marie Childress
In Loving Memory
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't believe I hadn't heard of Diane's passing. She was amazing and so strong. I worked with her for many years at OSHA. My sincere condolences.
Sorry to hear about Diane. I spent 23 years working with Diane - but her 37 years at OSHA - WOW!
Pretty impressive.
Diane was one of the few visionaries that I had the opportunity to work with. She used to marvel that I could recall every discusssion from most meetings, didn't need appointment books, meeting minutes etc. I used to tell her it was not that big a deal and was simply linear thought; and that her ability to visualize the solution to most any info technology problem in a very creative fashion was second to none. Her knowledge of info technology was simply impressive - she knew what she was talking about.
I was very fortunate to have Diane on our team.

We'll never forget her laugh and her smile!
Our friendship and OSHA family will always bring back fond memoires (especially the Holloween parties :) )
The strength and love of family was very present in the celebration of life service.
Thoughts and prayers to your family.
Frank and Dianna Koegler
We are so sorry to hear about Diane. Our hearts are with her family.
Carrie and I would like to extend our love to the Childress family (Sue, Ben, and Amy)
My most prevalent "life changing" memory of "Marty" was when they lived in the Sherman Avenue home. We were invited over to experience a new toy. Sue sat me down in their new 'listening chair' and Mardi put the headphones over my ears to hear this new invention called a CD. We were so blown away that we went to ZCMI the very next day to purchase a Fischer stereo system. The package was a rack, phonograph, amplifier, 2 - 100 watt speakers, and the CD PLAYER. The 1st 2 CDs were Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell (I still have them). We were hooked.
Childress' had many fun parties at the Sherman Avenue home, especially at Halloween. We played softball and had some great picnics.
This great musical/picture tribute shows a long life full of understanding, acceptance, and love.
