Diane Steiner (nee Klammer) age 66 of Towaco died Monday, April 28, 2008 at the Morristown Memorial Hospital in Morristown. Her passing was quiet and peaceful while she was receiving the loving care of her family who were at her bedside.
She was born in Paterson and had lived in Wayne before moving to Towaco in 1983.
She received her formal education at Wayne Valley High School graduating with the Class of 1960. She then went on to study for two years at Ithaca University in Ithaca, New York where she majored in Physical Education.
Many people will recall that Diane was a member of the Walter Klammer family who owned a very large chicken farm located on Ratzer Road in Wayne in the vicinity of Packanack Lake. In her early years she helped manage over twenty thousand chickens both for meat and egg production. The family marked the eggs at a store located at the farm and via the farmers market in Paterson, to bakeries, hospitals and other large institutions in the area. Eventually in the early 1980’s the farm became a housing development.
Diane was gifted with a special intellect and she could remember people’s names and their many relationships. This combined with her extraverted personality caused her to have many friends and know just about everyone within her community.
She leaves her family with wonderful memories of a very special wife, mother and grandmother. A mother who was always concerned about nurturing her family.
While attending Wayne Valley High School she met, later to be husband Roger Steiner. They had a “sweetheart” relationship for seven years together. They then wed and were married for forty-five years in an “exceptional and loving marriage”.
Surviving are her loving husband Roger Steiner; one daughter Terri Borro and her husband Anthony of Coudersport, Pennsylvania; two sons Jeffrey Steiner and his wife Becky of Wayne and Kevin Steiner and his wife Jennifer of Oak Ridge; five grandchildren Trey and Ty Borro, Rachel, Grace and Matthew Steiner; one brother Jeffrey McIlwaine of Sussex; three sisters Sandra McNelis of Newton, Patricia Hafner of Bloomingdale and Lynn D’Elia and her husband Mike of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Diane’s memory are asked to consider the Jacksonville Chapel.
