Diane Macia Obituary
Born on June 3rd, 1949, in Morristown, New Jersey, Diane was the daughter of Richard and Betty Farrington. She spent her life devoted to her family, friends, community and many passions and was known for generosity, strength and most of all her kindness. She was a devoted wife of fifty-four years to her husband, Gary; both graduated from Susquehanna University where they met while studying during their junior year at Oxford University in the UK. Diane was a loving mother to her son Nicholas and a cherished grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many. Diane's greatest joys came from family gatherings, cooking, reading, volunteering, education, history and traveling. She will be remembered for her warm smile and most of all her selflessness; she was always willing to lend a helping hand.
Diane is survived by her husband, Gary; her son, Nicholas; daughter-in-law, Jessica; her granddaughters, Everlee and Emerson; and her sisters, Debby Farrington and Beth Farrington Statman.
A service will be held for Diane at Bethlehem Presbyterian Church, 2 Race Street, Pittstown, NJ on Saturday, February 7th, 2026 at 11am. All are welcome to join a celebration of life luncheon following the service beginning at 12:30 PM at The Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial located at 86 Route 173 West, Hampton, NJ 08827.
Diane will be deeply missed but never forgotten and loved forever.

How sad to learn of Diane's passing. Diane was an energetic, fun and dedicated person to serve with during our active days with Bethlehem Presbyterian Church's Women's Group (BPW). She faithfully served as Secretary as well as working diligently in our activities which included all-you-can-eat community dinners, functions that BPW catered, and our annual spring bargain basement sale (where she often made her lentil soup for the volunteers). Diane was also most helpful and contributing when BPW hosted repasts for grieving families.
While we had not seen each other for a while, it was good seeing her recently when she appeared at Bethlehem Presbyterian Church (BPC) for a church service. I am sorry I will not be able to attend her funeral service at BPC to personally pay respects and honor her memory where she contributed much to BPW/BPC.
My sincerest condolences to her entire family whom she deeply loved and treasured. May you find peace and comfort in the memories and time you shared together.

I am very sorry to hear about Diane´s passing. It was an honor to have been a colleague with her in the Union Township school district. My condolences to her family and friends.

Diane was a beautiful regal woman, that was always ready to laugh or tell an enriching story about life or interesting topics! Gary and Diane would light up a room when they walked in with their love for each other and they always added more fun to a social event! Diane was so proud of Nickolas and was a pillar in any school he attended! Diane was a great friend to all and made everyone feel so special when in her company! The world needs more people like Diane, who taught an etiquette class to children at school and helped in the library. She had an extra twinkle to her eyes, and a spark of happiness no matter how she was feeling. I was so lucky to have crossed paths with Diane as we all raised our children in a close knit community at Union Township School. Thank you Diane for being you and I know you will be looking down from heaven at Gary, Nicholas, Jessie, your sisters and especially your granddaughters. Bernadette Townsend
