Diane Fenical Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 19, 2025.
Diane Fenical, 71, of Pine Bush, New York, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2025, at home, surrounded by her loving family.

Diane was born on May 23, 1954 in Long Island, New York to the late John and Catherine McGovern. She worked for many years as a school bus driver instructor for Pine Bush Central School District.

A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Diane dedicated her life to her family. She found joy in sewing, gardening, and crocheting, but Diane was known for her deep love of quilting. Her quilts are treasured gifts, passed down to family and friends, each stitch a testament to her dedication, care, and meticulous nature.

Diane is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, Albert Fenical Jr, her son Albert Fenical III and his wife Kimberly, her son Brian Fenical and his wife Heather and children Corey and Saiorshe, her grandson Conner Fenical, her sisters Denise and Cathy, and her brother Jack.

At Diane's request, memorial services will be private.

We find comfort knowing that Diane's legacy will live on through the quilts she crafted, the love she shares and the memories we will cherish forever.
