Diana Sue Crims

Diana Sue (Burger) Crims, age 66, of Talihina, Oklahoma passed away from this life in Fort Smith, Arkansas on May 15, 2026. Diana was born on November 14, 1959, in Galesburg to Ruthie Mae (Potter) Burger and Francis Burger. Diana cherished time with her family above all else. Holidays were especially dear to her because they brought loved ones together to cook, visit, and simply spend time together watching television and making memories. She enjoyed spending her days watching the love of her life work in the yard and garden or play with their many beloved wiener dogs. Riding through the pasture on the golf cart was another favorite pastime. Diana tried to attend as many events and activities involving her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as possible, always supporting and encouraging them. She loved her family deeply and treasured every moment spent together. Diana often joked that "as long as they could get their own drinks and use the restroom, they could stay," otherwise their parents had to stay too. In many ways, that was her loving way of keeping family close a little longer. Diana was one of the most unselfish and kindhearted people anyone could ever meet. She loved everyone, and everyone loved her. Diana is survived by her husband, Alvin Dean Crims of the home; children, Duane Crims and Nakia of Hot Springs, AR Tracy Davis and Jerry of Monroe, OK, Marcia Villa and Fernando of San Antonio, TX, Thomas Grogan and Brittany of Talihina, OK, Jonathan Grogan and Brandi of Talihina, OK, Jerrod Grogan of McAlester, OK, Elena Ivey and Jonathon of Talihina, OK, Niya Lyle and Hayden of Fort Smith, AR, and Juliana Sotelo and Amando of Pocola, OK, fourteen grandsons; twelve granddaughters; nine great-grandsons; one great-granddaughter; sisters, Kindal Funk and Dennis of Naples, and Rose Chitwood and Reggie of Foley; brother, Steve Burger and Rhonda of Alliance; four nephews; two nieces; as well as numerous extended family members and a host of friends.
