Diane Fitrakis
February 6, 1946 — June 8, 2019
Diane Fitrakis, 73, passed away June 8, 2019 at Memorial Hospital.
Born February 6, 1946 in Washington, DC, she was the daughter of the late Mayo and Charlotte (Fry) Curtis.
On March 10, 1980, Diane married John Russell Fitrakis. He survives her. Also left to cherish her memory are her four children: Daniel Johnson of Sunnyvale, CA, Kristin Kroh of Las Vegas, NV, Tamara Standlee of Ukiah, CA and Stephen Johnson of Yokosuka, Japan; sister, Janell Vezzani of Elk Ridge, UT, brother, Les Curtis of Lehi, UT; and six grandchildren.
Diane was a member of the Relief Society in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She was passionate about working with textiles and for many years, while living in California, she did costuming for the community theater. She loved to garden and discovered, in her later years, a great love for travel, as well. She was kind, generous, warm-hearted and eternally optimistic; and she saw every person she met as an opportunity for friendship. She will be dearly missed.
