The Ordinary, Extraordinary Cemetery

In 2004, Dianne Hartshorn founded  Evergreen Heritage non-profit organization, out of her love for Colorado Springs history and the pioneer heritage of the Evergreen Cemetery. Dianne is a 4th generation Colorado native and is the foremost expert on Colorado Springs cemeteries. As Director of Evergreen Heritage, her goal is to maintain and preserve historic headstones, as they are not only pieces of Victorian art, but sometimes serve as the last remaining evidence of a person’s life. Dianne is also a certified Reiki Practitioner. She has two grown children and lives with her husband Tom of 37 years.
