Diane N. Stehlik

For many years Diane served her community as an Emergency Room Nurse, where her steady hands and calm presence brought comfort in fear and uncertainty. She approached her work with extraordinary skill and deep empathy touching countless lives in ways both large and small. To her colleagues, she was a trusted professional and a mentor. To her patients, she was a source of reassurance and hope.

Beyond her career, Diane's greatest pride and joy was her family. She is lovingly survived by her children, Chad and Valorie, who carry forward her resilience and generous spirit. She was a devoted grandmother who cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren, Lindsey, Amelia, Victoria and Benny, celebrating their milestones and encouraging their dreams. Her heart expanded even further with the arrival of her great grandson, Aurelio, whose presence brought her immeasurable happiness.

Diane will be remembered for her quick wit, her warm smile and quiet strength that defined her life. Whether offering a listening ear, a word of advice or simply a comforting presence, she gave freely of herself. Her legacy lives on in the many lives she healed, the families she nurtured, and the love she shared so abundantly.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 2-5 pm at the Quinn Hopping Funeral Home, 26 Mule Road, Toms River, NJ.

Per the family's request please do not wear black on the day of services.
