Diane K. Stock, 73, of Auburn, passed away on September 29th, at St. Luke’s Hospital Bethlehem Campus after fighting a courageous battle against Myelofibrosis.
Diane was born in Pottsville, PA on April 24th, 1952, the daughter of the late Elsie and Harry Fessler.
She was preceded in death by sisters Joyce Bowen and Darlene Wendling, and brothers Randy Fessler, Gary Fessler, and Kenny Fessler.
She is survived by her husband Richard of 51 years, her son Joshua, husband of Brandea, daughters, Jamie, wife of Eddie Stoeber, and Jessica, wife of Richard Mark Walters, 5 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren.
Diane was a graduate of Blue Mountain High School, Class of 1970, with a focus on health occupation. Her first job was at the Peek A Boo Dress Factory in Schuylkill Haven. Diane attended Franklin Academy for typing and began working as a secretary and office manager for her husband’s business, Radiological Imaging Services.
Diane was devoted to her faith in God, family, and friends. She would open her heart and her home to anyone she met.
Diane loved helping anyone in need, but her heart especially belonged to “her seniors”, whom she delivered meals to with Meals on Wheels for many years. There are no words to truly describe her selflessness as a wife, mother, grandparent, and friend. She is and will always be, one of the kindest people you could meet.
Interment will be held privately for the immediate family.
Diane's family warmly invites friends and loved ones to join in a Celebration of Life in her honor on Saturday, October 4th.
Visitation will begin at 12:00 noon, with a time of prayer and praise to follow at 2:00 p.m. as family and friends gather to remember and give thanks for her life.
The celebration will be held at their home, 364 Woodland Dr. Auburn, PA.
