π Volunteer Spotlight: Honoring Diane & Marge π
Today, we remember two incredible women who helped lay the foundation for so much of what we do at the Pioneer & Military Memorial Park.
Marge spent countless hours researching and transcribing old cemetery records. She visited archives, dug through historical files, and helped preserve the stories of those buried here so they would never be forgotten.
Diane was a true visionary. She led the Inventory of Historic Cemeteries with the support of SHPO and compiled the first burial list still used by the Pioneers’ Cemetery Association today.
Though both women have passed on, their work lives on in every stone we preserve, every name we speak, and every tour we give.
π Thank you, Diane and Marge, for your passion, dedication, and love for this work.
