Diane Dalgarno of Eastsound passed away at her home on Aug. 11, 2006.

She was born in Olympia, Washington on June 30, 1942, the daughter of Edward and Iris (Land) St. Clair. Diane moved to Orcas Island in 1973 and enjoyed living on the island for 34 years. She held the beauty of nature, her family, friends, and the island community close to her heart.

Wherever she saw the opportunity, Diane created beauty, whether by planting a garden, teaching her grandson to kayak, or giving a bulb to a friend who might enjoy seeing the flowers in the spring. She was blessed with a kind, loving, compassionate heart, a tremendous positive attitude, abundant wisdom, and a wonderful smile. An elegant spirit, a beautiful soul, she will be profoundly missed.

Diane and her family would like to express their deep gratitude to all those who offered their prayers and support over the years. “Blessings to all of you.”

Diane was preceded in death by her father, Edward. She is survived by her husband, Rick Dalgarno; daughter and son-in-law Kimberly Rogers and Chandler White; and grandson Alex Meares Rogers, all of Orcas Island; son Kerry Morgan of Gig Harbor; and mother Iris St. Clair; sister and brother-in-law Linda and Greg Lawrence; and brother and sister-in-law Fred and Sandy St. Clair, all of Olympia.

At Diane’s request, a private family service will be held at her special beach house. Memorials may be made in Diane’s name to, The Marsha Rivkin Center, 1221 Madison St., Suite 1401, Seattle, WA, 98104.
