Diane A. Kieffer

Diane was first and foremost the hands and feet of Christ. She embodied the spirit of love in everything she did. She was kind to strangers, loving to her family and had a contagious laugh. One memory she shared with me was at a party, she asked multiple people to hold something for her; after almost everyone in the room was holding something for her she made an announcement that they all were holding the napkins for no reason at all. She was tickled by this! Mom made you feel seen and...

Dear Martin and Family,

Tony and I were stunned to hear of Diane's passing. I'm afraid we've both been working too much to know what has been going on in the neighborhood. But we will always picture her with a small child in tow, Sparky twirling around her while she tried to garden, her Noma lights at Christmas and many more fond memories...know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Our sincerest condolences.

DEAR MARTIN & FAMILY,
I knew Diane from growing up with nancy & ALL OF THE verbinski's She had a heart of gold We will all miss her.
LOVE,
LINDA ,JOHN and JOHNATHAN

We remember Diane as a proud member of our class of '65 , Bishop McDevitt H.S. We met her again at the big reunion in 2004. May God bless you all, and comfort you in your time of sorrow.

"Eternal rest grant unto her, Oh Lord, and may she rest in peace."

Diane was my mom and I can not say enough wonderful things about her. My memories of her are fond to say the least. Everything she did was special. She would not just make us sundaes, but she would get the special sundae dishes and fix them up like you were somewhere fancy. She enjoyed mysteries and loved Agatha Christie novels and Murder She Wrote television shows. She liked liverwurst sandwiches and babybel cheeses. Her children were her life and she made certain to make each and every...

Growing up in Chambers Hill only one street over from Diane and the rest of the "Verbinski" gang holds a lot of warm and wonderful memories in my heart and mind. Therefore, it deeply saddened me to learn of her death.

Although Diane was 10 years older than me, I am still able to remember when she and Martin got married and started having a family of their own. Yet, it wasn't until later in my life when I had my own home and three children, that I was able to get to know Diane better....

Martin, and Family Members Sorry to her of the loss of Diane, Our thoughts and sorrow are with you

I remember spending time with Diane and sleeping over at her house when we were kids. Whenever you put two kids together for a long period of time they end up fighting a little but that never happened with Diane. Even then she always put everyone else's wants and needs in front of her's. I never got board being with her. She had such a great imagination that we never ran out of things to do. She made me laugh all the time. She was always the same little girl inside the woman even with all the...

I met Diane on the first day of ninth grade in 1961, when she sat ibn front of me in homeroom. She was everything the obituary said she was -- kind-hearted, generous, unselfish.

I did not see her after we graduated until 1985, the summer I was pregnant with my first (and only) child. My husband and I stopped at a snack stand on Lingletown Road. Diane was there with just one child. She told me that she had six, and that she made it a point to schedule private alone time with each child...
