Diane Carpenter Obituary
Born in Bailey, North Carolina, her family moved to New Jersey at an early age where she attended the East Brunswick school system. After graduating, she moved to New Brunswick and then North Brunswick where she has lived for the last 15+ years.
Diane enjoyed working as a Certified Nursing Assistant at several nursing homes throughout central New Jersey. She also worked in the New Brunswick school system as a bus aid for many years.
Diane was an active member of the Eternal Life Christian Center in Somerset, where she was a member of the Usher Board and enjoyed bible studies and retreats. She also enjoyed going out to eat, watching Family Feud, listening to religious music and most of all spending time with her beloved family and friends. Her Christian teachings taught her about the power of our Savior. She was nurturing to all of those that met her with a sweet and gentle spirit. Her laughter and joy of life was contagious and shined brightly.
