Diane M. (Edmunds) Burbank, 67, died on November 5, 2026 after a courageous battle with cancer.
She was born June 11, 1959 in Franklin to Clarence and Nelly Edmunds, graduated from Franklin High School in 1977, and earned an associate’s degree in paralegal and business.
Burbank worked for many years as a cost accountant at Oak Laminates/Polyclad and later for the New Hampshire Department of Education, the Department of Administrative Services, and the NH Retirement System until her retirement in December 2024.
She loved spending time at the ocean with family, relaxing by the pool with friends, and pursuing lifelong learning through crafting, crocheting, felting, weaving, and cooking, often sending homemade cards to loved ones.
She is survived by her husband Rick, son Spencer, daughter Jessie of North Carolina, two granddaughters, sister Donna and Larry Burbank, and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and friends.
A graveside service will be held at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery, 110 Daniel Webster Hwy, Boscawen, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, November 18.
In lieu of flowers, the family invites friends to perform a random act of kindness today in her memory; arrangements are with the Cremation Society of NH, and an online tribute is available at csnh.com.
