Susan Diane Kettle

Susan Diane Kettle crossed over Saturday, February 13, 2010.

Diane, as she liked to be called, was born to Susan (Rowley) Kettle and Dale Kettle in Salem, Oregon on February 25, 1947.

She attended North Salem High School and graduated in 1964. She was married in 1967 to Rodney Wiberg and divorced in 1975.

Diane became a Realtor and sold lots in Sunriver in the '70s. She moved to the outskirts of Sisters in 1975. She worked for the U.S. Forest Service as a fire lookout for 13 years and also worked at Sisters Cascade of Gifts, Sisters Drug Co. and Bronco Billy's Ranch Grill and Saloon for many years as a hostess.

Diane loved to travel and took many cruises around the world. She was a great outdoorswoman. She enjoyed bird hunting at Summer Lake, fly fishing and hiking the surrounding area. Diane was always helpful and could tell you the best trails in the area.

Her animals were of great comfort to her, as were her many loving friends.

Diane will be deeply missed, as she was the link to many circles of friends, and her smile lit up our lives. She is survived by nephews Joe & Tom Calcomb; cousin, David Sparks; second cousin Brooke Fraitschi; and many friends called sisters. She was preceded in death by her mother, father and brother, John Calcomb.
