Diane Knoblock, age 80, of St. James, NY, passed away on November 26, 2025 leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and quiet strength. She was the beloved wife of the late Walter Knoblock, with whom she shared a lifetime of devotion and cherished memories.
Diane was the loving mother of Andrea Fina and her husband, Craig, and the adoring grandmother of Juliana, who brought endless joy to her life. Her family was her greatest pride, and she embraced every moment spent with them.
She was the dear sister of Joseph (Irma) Lombardo, Linda Lombardo, John Lombardo, Janet (Joseph) Pette, and Robert Lombardo. Diane’s warmth, generosity, and gentle spirit touched the lives of all who knew her, and her presence will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
May her memory be a blessing to all who loved her.
