Jean R. Diblasi

Jean R. DiBlasi (nee Diodato) age 86 of Waterford, NJ passed away suddenly on April 19, 2021. Mrs. DiBlasi is survived by her loving husband of 66 years Leo DiBlasi, her devoted children, Leo S. DiBlasi, Michelle Tobler (Jerry), Paula Morse, Jacqueline McGonigle (Michael) and Susan Mars (Michael). Also surviving are her 7 grandchildren, Colleen Morse (Aaron Kripke), Alix & Eric Tobler, Evan & Mia Mars and Michael & Jillian McGonigle. Jean enjoyed her family, travelling, cooking and going to the beach. She often spoke of her travel adventures, whether is was visiting family in Italy and Australia, hair braids in Barbados or nearly being arrested in Venice. She made friends wherever she went. She would make a strawberry shortcake that was second to none; we enjoyed a roasted leg of lamb just a few weeks ago; and no one will be able to duplicate her meatballs. She always loved the beach, and she and Leo would go to the boardwalk in any season, just to see the ocean. She was a special woman who was devoted to her family- immediate and extended. She was passionate about her family tree, and spent hours searching, documenting and staying in touch with everyone she loved. She truly was the glue that held us all together. Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Friday, April 23, 2021 9:00am to 11:30am at the St. Anthony’s Church, 450 Pennington Ave., Waterford. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30am. Interment will follow at the Sacred Heart Cemetery, Cedar Brook, NJ. Please wear a mask and Covid mandates and social distancing must be observed. Arrangements under the direction of the LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home & Crematory, Atco, NJ.
