I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Dianna since 2014. She has been a leader to me from day 1. My nickname for her was fearless leader. My heart hurts but I am also happy that she will be joining Jim in heaven. The world lost a kind soul and she will be deeply missed.
My heart hurts. I’ve known Dianna since I’ve started working at BHE since 2018. I’ll never forget the kindness she showed me. She was such a great human being. Rest in peace Dianna you will be greatly missed 😥

I think about the times I would call the assist line and I always seem to get Dianna. She was always eager to help. It didn’t matter how big or small the situation was.
If I was stressed she would tell me too breathe and she would remind me that I got this. She made me a better customer service representative.
My heart and prayers are with the family and friends. She is like family to many of us and she will be missed very much
RIP Dianna
I know you will be watching over all of us.

I am Joanie Anderson from Black Hills Energy Call center in Rapid City South Dakota. Dianna was a mentor and role model. I strive to achieve her level of excellence. She was smart, Funny and very kind. I told my supervisor today we need to use some of her calls for training people. She is going to leave a huge hole in our company. I can only imagine the hole she has left in her family. I feel privileged to have spent an entire day with her over zoom for job shadowing. She was a delight and a fountain of knowledge. I am sorry she didn’t get to enjoy retirement. I am in my 60s too. This has been very difficult for many coworkers. I will keep you in my thoughts. Thank you
Dianna was the BEST! It was my honor to know Dianna. She taught me so much over the few years I worked with her. She was knowledgeable, patient, funny, kind and willing to help. Dianna could solve any problem. You will be greatly missed! BHE won’t be the same without you.
Lady Di – your beautiful soul will be missed immensely. I’m grateful to have met and known you during our short time at SG and BHE. Your willingness to make it right for everyone,laughter and intellect will be missed! Blessings to your family and prayers for peace for the days to come. You and Jim can embrace once again!
Dianna was a kind and wonderfully witty person who I was privileged to work with for several years. She was extremely intelligent, but more importantly had a heart of gold. She was fun to work with and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her! Praying God’s peace and comfort for Dianna’s family.
I’m grateful to have met and known you during my short time at Source Gas and Black Hills Energy. You were always willing and ready to help whenever needed. Praying for your family, you will surely be missed.
Sending love and prayers to your family in this time of sorrow. May you find peace in knowing she is in heaven watching over you all.

It has been nearly 2 years ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. She will be missed. During school days, she was always will to help. I will share this news with the PC West 75 class.
