Dianne was born January 10, 1942, to Edwin & Ella (Gatz) Burandt, in Waconia, MN. She married Bruce Kyes in April of 1964, and they lived in Minnesota with their children until 1976, when the family moved to Bismarck. Dianne was a homemaker for a time until she decided to start an in-home daycare. During this time, she had the pleasure of not only raising her own children, she also had 3—5 kids at her daycare; a couple with physical limitation that required her to move them in & out of wheelchairs. She truly enjoyed this for many years. Shortly after she closed the daycare, she was employed with Bismarck Public Schools where she worked in the lunchroom at Bismarck High School until she retired in 2000.
