Diane Almada

March 22, 1964 – December 12, 2025

Diane passed away peacefully on December 12, 2025 in Manahawkin, New Jersey, having had time to say goodbye to all her beloved family.

Diane was born the third child of Dorothy (Kilroy) Studer and Louis V. Studer, who pre-decease her. She and her siblings grew up in Jersey City and Secaucus, New Jersey. She later lived in Bayville, New Jersey, where she loved craft and sewing clubs, bingo, the beach and the boardwalk, garage sales, and spending time with her dear friends. Always artistic and creative, Diane’s beautiful hand-sewn gifts and delicious Christmas cookies will live on in the memory of her friends and family.

Diane always loved animals of all kinds and had many throughout her life, including cats, dogs, a pig, a llama, a horse, and sheep. Most of all, Diane loved her family, especially her children. Diane will be missed by her beloved children Stephanie Almada (Jim Hill) and Alexander Almada (Francesca Acocella), her loving siblings Louis (Mary) Studer, Kelly Ann (Dave) Van Lunen, Michael Studer, and Chris Ann Studer, and her nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephew, and cherished friends Kelly Ketterson and Lulu Becker, as well as many other close friends.

Private services will be held for immediate family only. To honor Diane’s memory, please consider donations to Associated Humane Societies Community Shelters or the American Cancer Society.
