 NOTICE TIME CHANGE

Diana Searle Leha passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones on October 24, 2025. She was born on February 2, 1947, in Vernal, Utah, to Milton and Elva Caldwell Searle.

Diana was preceded in death by her parents and many dear family members who went before her. She is survived by her siblings Eugene Searle, Todd Searle, Emily Searle Christiansen, Ellen Searle Kiever, and Flynn Searle; her children John Michael Bates (Ronda), Michelle Celeste Moore, Cindie Llewelyn (Scott), Jeff Allen (Z), and Malia Leha Hanna (Bill); nine grandchildren; and fifteen great-grandchildren, with two more on the way.

Diana was born and raised in Vernal, Utah, where she developed a lifelong love of family, faith, and service. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and shared her steadfast testimony of the love of her Savior, Jesus Christ. She held many callings throughout her life. Her favorite calling was serving as Primary President, where her love of teaching and spending time with children was dutifully displayed.

Diana’s compassionate heart guided her to pursue her RN at Weber State University, which led to a lifelong career in nursing, where she cared deeply for her patients and took pride in helping others heal. At home, she was the heart of her family—a loving and devoted mother who worked tirelessly to provide for her children and led by example in all that she did. She found joy in sewing, gardening, cheering on the Utah Jazz, and baking, especially during the holidays when she filled her home with the warmth of cookies, quality time, and laughter.

She shared a special bond with her sister-in-law and close friend, Lavon Searle, and had a deep affection for her “grand-dogs.” Diana will be remembered for her strength, resourcefulness, self-reliance, and unwavering work ethic. Her legacy of love, faith, and kindness will live on through her family and all who were blessed to know her.

The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to US Renal Care of Layton, Utah, and Cascade Springs Home Health and Hospice for the compassionate and dedicated care they provided to Diana and her family in her final days.
