Dianne is survived by her loving husband, Robert, son, Jeffrey, brother Daniel and wife Sarah of Jefferson Maine and brother Randolph of Florida. Nieces Maryah and Alexandra Merlo, nephews Charles and Robert Merlo, sister-in-law, Deborah S Foster, her husband Philip Foster and sister-in-law, Janis Senko. The best cousins in the world! Karin Schempf and Beverly Puzio who took great care of me in the hardest moments. Best friends a girl could ever ask for, Camile, Mary Ann, Traci, Ann, Carol, Angela and Kathy who were there for all the difficult days. And of course, lots of wonderful cousins, friends and extended family. To my cousins, I’m so happy to have gotten to know you, even if it was later in life. It has been a pure treasure! You all brought me joy with all the fun stories about our Aunt’s. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Everything in Dianne’s life was important to her. Her dogs were such a passion. Dianne was a member of the Mid-Jersey Labrador Retriever Club for over 20 years, serving on the Board of Directors and various committees throughout the years. Dianne enjoyed all the dog activities of showing and training her dogs. Training with her dog Bailey was pure joy, Bogie was a bit of a challenge as he preferred the couch! Other hobbies and interests include knitting, weaving, quilting, felting, and traveling the world on knitting trips with friends and family.

The beach was a favorite and special place. Dianne loved the beach, having grown up in Chadwick Beach. Here she met her husband. Many wonderful summers were spent here.

As much as Dianne enjoyed her life outside her home, her home was her little place of paradise. Sitting in her yard listening to the birds and enjoying her lovely peonies gave her such joy.

Dianne enjoyed cooking and baking for friends and family. Teaching her son the old family recipes was so important to her. Holiday dinners were always important and special. And her cookies were the best. Everyone looked forward to them. If you received a bag of her treats, you were truly special in her life.
