Diana-Lynn
(nee Morgan)
December 10, 1955
- June 25, 2016
Diana Lynn (Morgan) Bertram passed away suddenly but peacefully on June 25, 2016 at the age of 60 years. Diana was born December 10, 1955 in Three Hills, and grew up on the family farm north of Carbon. She graduated from the Carbon school and moved to Calgary for further education and then employment. Diana had grown up in a very musical family, and their mutual love of music led to the formation of a family band, “The Morganaires”, Diana and her family, joined by a neighbor, played for dances all over Alberta for some years. Diana married Brian Bertram in 1985, and they settled into the Carbon community, where one of her talents was gardening, everyone enjoying her homemade pickles, relishes and jams. She loved baking and her bountiful Christmas trays were always devoured with great enthusiasm. Their sons, Tyler James and Dillon Taylor were born in 1992 and 1996 and raising the boys was her greatest joy. Diana’s health began to decline, and she moved to Drumheller to take up residence in Hillview Lodge, where she remained active until her sudden passing. Diana enjoyed being surrounded by her family. Her two sons kept the sparkle in her eye, and her pride and joy in them, and her love of being a mother was evident to all. Diana’s kind heart and gentle smile will be greatly missed. Diana is survived by her sons, Tyler and Dillon Bertram, her sister Susan (Ken) Guttridge, two brothers, Ken (Florence) Morgan, and Dale (Cindy) Morgan, numerous nieces, nephews and their families. She was predeceased by her parents, Earl and Gladys Morgan and sister Sharon Morgan. A Celebration of Diana’s life will be held on Thursday, June 30th, 2016 at 2:00 P.M. at the CARBON COMMUNITY CENTRE. If friends so desire memorial donations may be made in Diana’s memory to the Hillview Lodge. Courtney-Winter’s Funeral Homes are in care of the arrangements.
