Diane O'Hawk Obituary
Born on March 19, 1950, to parents Helen (Czekner) Kennedy and the late Robert Kennedy, Diane Mary O'Hawk lived a life deeply devoted to her family and her Catholic Faith. She had two brothers, Robert (Barbara) Kennedy and John (Kelli) Kennedy. Diane married Bernard S. O'Hawk on September 9, 1976. She was a former member of St. Lawrence the Martyr Catholic and was a current member of St. John Fisher Catholic Church in Catasauqua. Her three daughters Tracy, Kristina (Daniel) and Elizabeth (Kenneth), and five grandchildren Molly, Kenneth, Alexander, Everett, and Kaiden were her entire world, and she loved them with all her heart.
We take comfort in knowing she is now having the most beautiful reunion with her beloved daughter Tracy Mertz and her father Robert Kennedy who preceded her. Diane was an incredibly brave woman who fought with strength and grace until the very end.
Services will be private at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Diane's children, Kristina and Elizabeth.
May God hold her gently in the palm of His hands, until the day we are together again.
