Diana Christine Mockert

Born in Weehawken, NJ on December 15, 1949, to the late John and Christine Drieling. Diana lived her entire life in Union City, along with her husband Walter. She was a dedicated teacher in both Jersey City and Union City for approximately 42 years.

Survivors include her husband, her devoted daughter Christine Leonore Mockert, and her sister in law Gertrude Mockert. Diana had a lifelong love of travel, and went to Germany many times as a child and adult to spend time with her relatives and friends. She enjoyed vacationing every August in Cape May, which was her “happy place.” She loved margaritas on the rocks, could never pass up a good bargain, especially when it came to jewelry, and spending time with her daughter. She was an avid reader and lifelong Beatles fan with a special crush on Paul McCartney.
