Help Us Honor a proper burial and memorial for Dianne Parry!

Our beloved mother, Dianne Hardman Parry, passed away unexpectedly after a courageous and challenging year battling Merkel cell cancer. She had recently undergone surgery to receive a feeding tube as she struggled to eat, but complications following the procedure tragically led to her passing. Her loss has left us heartbroken, but we are determined to celebrate her incredible life and legacy.

We are raising funds to provide her with a proper burial, a gravesite where her cremains can rest, and a small memorial service to honor her memory. While we have some resources, the costs of a meaningful farewell are more than we can manage alone.

We aim to bridge the gap and give her the loving goodbye she deserves. The service will be held on February 28th at Mountain View Memorial in Salt Lake City.

Dianne was a force of unconditional love, the foundation of our family, and an extraordinary woman who lived life with intelligence, determination, and grace. In her younger years, she loved skiing and waterskiing with her family at Lake Powell, skateboarding with her brothers, and running a deli on Main Street in Park City before her children were born. She appreciated good food, fashion, and spending time with loved ones.

She never gave up, no matter what challenges life brought her way. She raised us, her three children, with unwavering love and taught us to love one another deeply. Because of her, we share an unshakable bond that will continue to carry us through life. She was articulate, smart, and always found a way to persevere. Dianne’s presence filled every room she entered, and her legacy of love and strength will remain with us forever.

She was the best mom we could have ever asked for, teaching us the importance of love, perseverance, and family. Her life was a gift, and we are so blessed to have been loved by her.

Any contribution, regardless of size, will help us honor Dianne’s beautiful life and memory. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and support during this difficult time.
