Diane E. Welsh

Diane E. Welsh, a beloved wife to Frederick, devoted mother to Dawn and Frederick “Ricky” (Crystal), and cherished “Mom Mom” to Joseph, Jenna, and Liam, as well as a cherished sister and doting aunt, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2024, surrounded by the love of her family. A true survivor, Diane faced her short, yet fierce battle with cancer with extraordinary courage and grace, demonstrating an unmatched boldness and strength that inspired everyone who knew her.

Diane was known for her boundless heart—a heart so big it touched the lives of everyone she met. She poured her love and energy into her family and friends, making her a haven of warmth and joy. Her fiery, strong-willed spirit left a mark on everyone she met, and will be present for years to come. Diane was a force to be reckoned with; showing great resilience and strength providing a foundation to lean on. As a wife, she was steadfast and deeply devoted, always embodying an intense love and unwavering partnership, no matter the circumstance. As a mother, she nurtured her children with unwavering care and wisdom, and was fiercely protective of them and everyone who entered their lives; As “Mom Mom,” she delighted in every moment spent with her grandchildren, creating memories they will treasure forever. In her past time, she loved baking, crocheting and traveling down to Cape May. Diane had a great love for her family, often recalling memories of the Poconos and her mom’s country line dancing.

Diane’s legacy is one of resilience, love, and selflessness. She leaves behind a family who will forever be guided by her example and comforted by the countless ways she enriched their lives.
