Diane K. (Jorgensen) Peterson, 58, of Fremont lost her battle with cancer Sunday, January 4, 2015. She died at her home surrounded by her loving family.
Diane was born to Ernest and Viola (Herbolsheimer) Jorgensen on September 29, 1956 in Fremont. She grew up on the family farm south of Hooper until she moved to Fremont with her parents in 1969. She attended Fremont Public Schools, graduating in 1974. She married Paul Peterson on May 8, 1982 in Fremont.
She was employed by Accent Service Company from 1974 to 1979 and then began her 35 year career in banking at First State Bank & Trust Company-Fremont where she was a Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer. The Directors, Officers, and staff of the bank became Diane's second family. The understanding, care and compassion shown to her during her illness will never be forgotten.
