Obituary

Dianne Mary Narleski (nee Wells), 81, of Collingswood, NJ, passed away peacefully on September 22, 2025 in Leeds, MA.

Dianne was born on August 19, 1944, in Merchantville, NJ, to Lewis and Mary Wells (nee  Cliver). She was the youngest of and predeceased by six sisters (Mildred, Dorothy, Hannah,  Mae (Peggy), Anna, and Margaret) and two brothers (Walter and George). Dianne graduated with the class of 1962 from Delaware Township High School in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Dianne was united in marriage to Robert T. Narleski (predeceased 1993) on January 11, 1964.  She was the proud mother to two sons, William and Gregory and lived in their family home on  Lawnside Ave. in Collingswood for 60 years. After raising her sons, Dianne worked at Phoenix Heating and Air Conditioning until retirement.

Dianne was a devoted mother and number one fan of her boys, attending all of their sporting  events, both near and far. She was actively involved in the community, volunteering her time  with many local organizations including the PTA, and Little League and Babe Ruth baseball.

Dianne relished time with bowling friends in the Baker Lanes leagues for many years, while  enjoying other hobbies such as ceramics, shopping, and various crafts. She cherished family  time during holidays, celebration dinners, game nights and weekend meals. In retirement, she  loved going on cruises with family.

Dianne is survived by Bill and Joanne (nee Carson) of Chapel Hill, NC, her grandchildren  Jaclyn, Julie, and Jenna, previously of Basking Ridge, NJ, and Greg and Lisa Giddens, and step-grandchild Ayla of Hadley, MA. She will be dearly missed by her nieces and nephews, and many friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her visitation on Tuesday, September 30, 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at the FOSTER-WARNE FUNERAL HOME, 820 Haddon Ave., Collingswood, NJ 08108.  Prayer service will follow at 11:30 AM.  Interment Lakeview  Memorial Park, Cinnaminson, NJ.
