It is with deep sorrow we announce that Diane Baeli, our beloved sister, passed away at The Villa Hospice Care, Saddle River, NJ. Diane's courageous battle with lung cancer ended on June 9, 2025. Diane lived in New Milford, grew up in Bergenfield and attended St. John's Catholic School and Bergenfield High School. Diane proudly worked for many years at the USPS in Cliffside Park, NJ where she was highly commended by colleagues and the community she served.
Diane is predeceased by her parents Frank and Ann Baeli and sister Barbara Dilello. Diane will always be deeply loved by her heartbroken siblings, sisters Adrianna Baeli, Kathryn Adamo, Theresa Steinke, Mary Lospinoso, Felicia Baeli, and brother Frank Baeli. Diane will be missed and fondly remembered by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and her many devoted friends.
Holy Name Hospice in Teaneck, NJ was devoted to Diane's care and provided her with much comfort throughout her long battle with cancer. A memorial donation can be made in Diane's name to carry on their legacy of care.
