Diana J Gilson Duerksen

I have 5 grandchildren, 2 of whom died from premature birth,and I have a grandaughter due at the end of August. I also lost my oldest son in a accident in July of 2004.

I went to work at Zenith in Sioux City immediately after graduation. I met my husband in March of 1972 and got married in February of 1973 then moved to Bridgewater SD where he grew up and am still living there now. I had my 3 kids and stayed home to care for them till my youngest went to school then I went to nursing school and am now working at Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls SD. I came to Central as a junior and one of the MOST interesting people I think I ever met had to be Jessie Dupree! He was SO much fun and always kept us laughing!
