Diana Skalstad Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Duda-Ruck Funeral Home of Dundalk, Inc. on Dec. 3, 2025.
Diana Skalstad, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on December 1, 2025, after a hard fought battle with esophageal cancer. She leaves behind her three children - Derrek Wolinski, Devon Wolinski, and Daniel Wolinski - who will forever carry her strength in their bones.
Diana's legacy lives on through her grandchildren- Shawn, Alicia, Hope, Derrek Jr., and Danni Lynn, and through her great-grandson Kaiden. Diana is also survived by her siblings Richard Davis, Renee Skalstad-Sinsky, Denise Skalstad, and Michelle Davis. Diana was tough, loving, and stubborn in all the best ways. Her presence will be missed more than words can cover, but her spirit keeps working overtime in the lives of everyone she touched. May she rest in peace, finally free from pain, and forever wrapped in the love she built across generations.
