Diane Doyle Obituary
Diane Dorothy (Kresky) Doyle (born 12 Oct 1959 in Peckville, PA), entered into the fullness of Eternal Life through the Lord Jesus Christ, on 10 August 2025. Diane grew up in Parsippany, New Jersey and attended their local high school. She is the daughter of the late Joseph Kresky, the late Dorothy (Mozdziock) Kresky, and stepmother Evelyn Kresky. She then attended The University of Scranton graduating in 1981. That year, she met her future husband, Thomas A. Doyle, who was returning to the Air Force. In October of 1981, Diane & Tom married. Diane worked as a computer programmer for two years while Tom pursued graduate studies. In 1983, her husband received his Air Force officer commission and they began a life rich together with travel, adventure, and service around the country and world. Their first assignment took them to Texas, where they welcomed their first two children, Erin and Brian. From there, the Air Force carried them across the ocean to an AF station in Southern Italy for three unforgettable years, where their third child, Allison, was born. The next chapter brought them back to Texas where their family was completed with the birth of Shannon. In 1991, life's path brought the family of six back to Pennsylvania, eventually settling in Harleysville alongside the military. During the 2000s, Diane skillfully balanced the demands of maintaining the household with traveling alongside Tom during his assignments at numerous Air Force bases across the country including New Mexico, North Dakota, and Arizona. When Tom retired and their children were grown, Diane's adventurous spirit blossomed even further. She and Tom set out to explore the world together, traveling to 49 of the 50 United States, most of Canada, nearly all of Europe, Russia, Israel (5 times), the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, the Mediterranean, Central and South-Central America, Antarctica, Alaska, and even the North Polar Ice Cap. Each journey was not just about the destination but about the joy of experiencing it together, hand in hand. Diane was a woman of deep and unwavering Christian faith, whose life was a testament to her love for God and her family. She was giving, loving, selfless, and endlessly devoted, always putting the needs of others before her own. With a servant's heart, she poured her time and energy into raising and homeschooling her four children through Buxmont Christian Educational Institute. Diane's many passions-gardening, crocheting, knitting, canning, baking, cooking, and reading (especially religious books)-were expressions of her care and desire to bless those around her. She embodied the "Virtuous Woman" of Proverbs 31, living each day with grace, kindness, and a steadfast spirit. Diane is survived by her husband LtCol Tom Doyle (USAF retired) and her four children and family: Erin Keeler (Kevin), Brian Doyle (Kaye-Leigh), Allison Fitzpatrick (Robert), and Shannon Loucks (Philip). 15 Grandchildren: Liora-Elizabeth, Kyle, Sophia, Raelynn, Wynnie-Mae, Abigail, Kirsten, Kiersky-Jo, Gilloren, Nathanael, Kelton, Kaedance, Eliana, Garrity, and Gannon. Sisters Ann Marie (Kresky) Barone (Robert) and Barbara Kresky.
