Diana McNair

Diana was born in Newark, NJ. She graduated from West Side High school and attended college. She then worked for Prudential Insurance Company for 37 years and decided to retire. After several years retired she decided she wanted to do something else and began selling life insurance for American Income Life Insurance Company for another 15 years.

It would be wrong to say that Diana lost her battle because she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Diana stayed strong. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like. There was no quit in Diana. Just because she is no longer here, it doesn’t mean she lost her fight.

Diana was the biological mother of two children. However, many people considered Diana their surrogate mother. She cared deeply for her family and friends. She did this not out of obligation, but because of who she was. She was always the first to offer help and she always ensured that every child who crossed her threshold was safe, healthy, and happy.

Diana is survived by her daughter’s, Stacey McNair, Vanessa McNair, four grandchildren Joshua McNair, Danielle Jerome, Saniyah Jerome, Kevin Jerome Jr., her soul son in law Alphonso Maldonado and her soul partner of 40 years Andrew Zackery.
