After battling a variety of health issues for two years, Diane Carol Charette, 77, a woman with a beautiful smile and giving heart, passed away peacefully in Landmark Hospital, Naples, FL, on November 14, 2018. Throughout her life, Diane was a person who brought joy, love, and friendship to many.
Born and raised in Jersey City, NJ, Diane also lived in Lake Parsippany, Succasunna, and Stanhope, NJ, and finally, Naples, FL. She was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Catherine (Keane) Miksza, her loving husband, Oliver (Ollie), and her beloved son, Michael.
Whether Diane was living in NJ or in Florida, her two greatest passions were her family and her friends. She was happiest when she was around people, and this included the many years that she worked as a service manager at McDonald’s in Randolph, NJ. She loved celebrating the holidays, and her home was always a central spot of celebration, laughter, and togetherness.
She is survived by her loving children, Michele Charette Vezza and her husband, Robert, of Naples, FL; Allan Charette and his wife, Nicole, of Succasunna, NJ; and her daughter-in-law, Johnna Charette, of Netcong, NJ. She is also survived by her brothers, Frank, James, Robert, and Stanley; her adored grandchildren, Liv, Tara, Makayla, and Parker Charette; and a host of other family members and friends.
A memorial mass will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, Dec. 8, 2018, at St. Thomas More Church, 4 Convent Rd., Morristown, NJ.
