Diane Jones 82 of Toms River NJ

8/28/1942 - 3/29/2025

It is with broken hearts that our mother entered into eternal peace on March 29, 2025, surrounded by God and her 6 children.

She had various jobs throughout her lifetime but her greatest one of all was being our Mommy, Grammy and Great Grammy.

She treasured meaningful traditions, especially those from her childhood, which she passed down to her children to be cherished forever. She celebrated others in thoughtful ways—never missing a birthday call and always ready with a handmade gift for a new baby. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures, from sewing and crocheting to crossword puzzles and trips to ShopRite.

We will miss her deeply, but her memory will always live on in our hearts and minds.

She is predeceased by her parents Dominic and Victoria Mascitelli. Two sisters Janet and Frances, and her brother Dominic.

She is survived by her brother Steven Mascitelli and her sister Lois Mascitelli.

Her children Alfred and Danielle Carvalho, Renee Nauyoks, Michele and Kenneth Price, Dawn Marie Jones, Jennifer and Kelly Conklin, Thomas and Melissa Jones.

Her most treasured grandchildren:

Gianna and Dustin Cherry, Brielle Carvalho, Julian Nauyoks,

Kenneth Price and Lizzie Monahan. Jennifer Price and Justin Bolden, Nicholas Price, Angela Cicchino and Salvatore Concepcion, Anthony Cicchino and Stephanie Harms, Amanda and Joseph Funicelli, Kelly and Cara Conklin, Jillian and Brandon Lombardo, Michael Conklin, Jacob and Mia Jones.

Her beloved great grandchildren:

Greyson Rey, Camila Marie, Anthony Kenneth, Joseph Francis and Eliana Michele.

And our soon to be Alina Diane or Giovani Michael coming in May.

Our Mom, Grammy and Great Grammy will be deeply missed and our hearts are shattered but we will continue to honor her strong faith in God and share her love and the greatest of memories until we meet again!

In lieu of flowers we ask that you donate to our dear family member 5 year old Miles Cherry who’s battling cancer.
