Diana Lynn
Burningham
Baker City, 1948-2016
Diana Lynn Burning-
ham, 68, of Baker City,
Oregon passed away at her
residence on November 23,
2016 . A celebration of her
life will be held at a later
date.
Diana was welcomed
into the world on March
24, 1948 to her proud
parents; Ireta (Ransom)
Powell and Harold Powell
in Boise, Idaho. In 1965
she graduated from Grant-
Union High School in John
Day, Oregon.
Some of Diana’s fondest
memories include growing
up in Izee, Oregon where
her father was a lumber
grader. Her sister Geral-
dine, her brother Gary and
herself would roam the
hills, play baseball, and she
fondly remembers hunt-
ing and fi shing trips with
her father. As Diana grew
older and started a family
of her own, she enjoyed
taking her own children
back to Izee to show them
where she grew up.
Diana successfully
completed various alcohol
and drug courses which
complimented her 14 year
career as an Alcohol and
Drug Program Manager at
the Baker Alcohol & Drug
Center. In addition to the
14 years she spent in the
rehabilitation fi eld, she
worked at the Grant Baker
Federal Credit Union for
three and half years as an
Assistant Manager.
On July 9, 1999, Bruce
Burningham and Diana
Powell were married in
Blackfoot, Idaho. Diana
and Bruce loved to go
camping, spend time with
their family, and host
barbecues in their beauti-
ful backyard. She also
enjoyed fi shing, golfi ng,
reading, and going on
picnics.
Diana was successful and
had many wonderful ac-
complishments throughout
her life, but the accom-
plishments she was most
known for was her natural
ability to be a loving wife,
mother, grandmother, and
great-grandmother. Diana
will be greatly missed by
all.
She is survived by her
husband Bruce Burn-
ingham of Baker City;
brother and sister in-law
Gary and Jackie Powell of
Hermiston, Oregon; son
Todd Welter of Baker City;
daughter and son in-law
Becky and Joe Lazdaus-
kas of Idaho Falls, Idaho;
daughter Sheila Baker of
Idaho Falls, Idaho; son
in-law Joel Baker of Baker
City and stepson Tyson
Burningham of Baker City.
She is also survived by her
grandchildren: Shenae Ber-
glund, Kyla Welter, Abby
Baker, Jessa and Ellie Laz-
dauskas, Tyanna Burning-
ham, Pazley Burningham,
and two great-grandchil-
dren: Aveni Berglund and
Emmie Dickison.
Diana is preceded in
death by her sister Geral-
dine Smith and her daugh-
ter in-law Jolynne Welter.
In lieu of fl owers the
family asks that donations
be made to Best Friends of
Baker City through Gray’s
West & Co. Pioneer Cha-
pel at 1500 Dewey Ave.,
Baker City, OR 97814.

Robert “Bob” Radle
Baker City, 1932-2016
Nearly fi ve decades of experience.
600 Elm Street, Baker City. 541.523.3708
Owners Tony & Lisa Constantine LCB 6271 • CCB 63504
Robert ‘Bob’ Radle, 84,
of Baker City, Oregon
passed away peacefully
on November 15, 2016 at
his home in Keating with
his family by his side. He
fought a long brave battle
with cancer.
Bob was born in Los
Angeles, California on Oc-
tober 28, 1932 to Parents
Herbert and Ardel (Sher-
rill) Radle. He grew up
in Bellfl ower, California
and he shared many good
memories about fi shing,
racing cars, hunting and
camping with his family.
After graduating from
Excelsior High School,
Bob joined the Navy in
1952, during the Korean
War. He was an E3 Dam-
age Control/Fireman on
the now retired U.S.S.
Menongahela.
While home on leave
Bob’s friend talked him
into going on a blind date
with Jeanette Morin. On
June 12, 1954 they were
married. He had only one
love and they were married
56 years when Jeanette
passed away in December
of 2010.
After his time in the
Navy he came home to
Bellfl ower, California a
newlywed and started his
own landscaping/yard
care business. In 1957
he was hired by Pacifi c
Gas and Electric Co. in
Marysville, Ca. Bob had
a lifelong dream of be-
ing a rancher. Moving to
Marysville meant this was
slowly coming to reality.
Meanwhile his family was
growing. Bob and Jeanette
had three children, Debbie,
Cindy and Steve.
Bob worked very hard at
PG&E but also at raising
bottle calves, horses and
milk cows which he dili-
gently milked every morn-
ing before work. He also
rode with an old cowboy
friend Roy Chestnut every
chance he got.
In 1969 Bob sold his
‘ranchette’ in Marysville,
transferred to the PG&E
garage department in Bur-
ney, California and pur-
chased a hay ranch in Pit-
tville outside of McArthur,
California. He worked for
PG&E for 33 years while
putting up, selling and
hauling ‘tons’ of hay. He
also raised a small herd
of cattle with the help of
his wife and family and
became a member of the
Cattlemen’s Association.
His love of ranching,
animals and the outdoors
was matched only by his
love of fl ying. While busy
with work and his hay
ranch he found time to get
his private pilots license.
