Diane Walker Obituary

Diane C. Walker
Newton - Diane C. Walker, 55, of Newton, died Saturday, June 20, 2020, at Morristown Medical Center.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Diane lived in Newton and Fredon Township and has lived in Newton for the past 27 years. She was a 1983 graduate of Kittatinny Regional High School. Diane was the Assistant Vice President Facilities Business Service Coordinator at Lakeland Bank in Oak Ridge for the past five years.
The daughter of the late Frieda (Hoffman) Walker, Diane is survived by her son, Petty Officer 2nd Class Christopher Walker; her father, US Army Retired Major C.

"My mother was an amazing person, whose laugh and smile will never be forgotten. No matter what trouble I got into growing up, she was always compassionate and caring, I cannot recall a time she even raised her voice at me. I've never met a woman quite like her, and I doubt I ever will. She is greatly missed" – Chris Walker

I had the privilege of working with Diane at the bank. Ill never forget her outstanding work ethic. In the extended absence of her supervisor, Diane took the reigns and went above and beyond in order to successfully ensure the completion of various initiatives. Although we worked in different departments, Diane was always willing to assist wherever a colleague needed her. I just learned of Dianes passing...... my sincere condolences go out to her family.
