Diane Jane Greber of Quakertown, PA entered into blessed eternal life on March 22^nd, 2026 and is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Born in Camden, NJ at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital on July 29th, 1961, Diane was the third child and second daughter of the late Merrill Edwin Dickinson Sr. and the late Rosemary Regina Dickinson.  Diane grew up and attended school in Salisbury Township, PA where her family resided for many years. 

Diane was married to the love of her life Joseph Greber in 1998 and together they raised their precious daughter Alexis Greber who currently serves the Lower Merion School District as a middle school art teacher.

Diane was a sweet soul with an engaging personality who possessed a unique sensitivity to the needs of others. After a successful career in the retail industry, Diane sought employment at Gracedale Nursing Home in Nazareth where she earned a certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant.  She worked for many years at different nursing homes. The majority of her time being at the skilled nursing unit at Phoebe Richland where she applied her purpose-driven skills and talents to lovingly and compassionately care for those in long term care.  She also worked part-time at Wawa close to her home to remain engaged and channeled her powerful work ethic.  Diane looked forward to her shifts so she could see her favorite customers and interact with the community.

As the middle daughter, Diane learned to be independent, flexible and empathetic.  She was always kind and thoughtful and had a servant’s heart.  She was a person who saw what others missed and could always be relied upon to provide a genuine, transparent and unbiased insight during discussions or contributing to family decisions.  Diane also had a quick wit and could offer levity to any conversation.  Diane had many interests. She loved shopping, both antiquing and thrifting, and playing games. She and Joe had a love for watching movies and TV shows together.  She loved animals; especially dogs, cats and horses.  Whenever she had a chance Diane would accompany Joe to attend Jeep rallies and trail rides.  She also enjoyed music, travel, and her family’s annual beach life vacations to Ocean City, Maryland and the New Jersey shore.  Diane had a deep appreciation for classic rock music and enjoyed concerts and sharing her knowledge of music trivia that included details of the band’s history, member’s (and past members) lives, the meaning of songs and the group’s greatest concert performances.  To Diane, music was storytelling and the stories spoke to her attuned heart.

Diane is survived by her husband Joe, her daughter Alexis, sister Laura Sorrentino, sister Regina Kraus and her husband Jeff, brother Merrill and his wife Elaine, along with nieces and nephews: Jennifer Leaman, Rose Shipman, Lindsey Lawhorn and her husband Will, Matthew Dickinson, and Jacob and Abigail Kraus.  Diane is also survived by; stepchildren Justin Greber and Rachael Moyer, step-grandchildren Joey and Chelsea Greber, Ryan and Amber Moyer, Molly Greber, Kadin and Kendall Bard, Nathan and James Hebebrand, Jr, the late Caitlyn Hebebrand, and great step-grandchildren; Owen Moyer, Lainey Bard, Rowen Hebebrand and James Hebebrand lll.
