Dianna Lynn Burgher, 74, of Stockbridge, Michigan, died at Chelsea Hospital on June 13, 2022 from congestive heart failure. She was  born January 4, 1948, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the first-born daughter of Russell and Shirley (Snider) Armstrong, who preceded her in death. On June 18, 1971, she was united in marriage to Dale Edward Burgher, who survives. Dianna was a graduate of Ann Arbor High School and received her Culinary Degree from Washtenaw Community College. She was a homemaker that loved to bake and cook meals for her family. She enjoyed anything to do with art; ceramics, painting, and sewing were among her favorite pastimes, and she shared that love with her family through hosting ornament making parties for the kids and having a surplus of supplies to keep them occupied anytime of the year.

She cherished her family above all else and she will be greatly missed.
