Diane M. (Bogdanski) Urbine, 75, a longtime resident of Belford, passed away Aug. 4, 2022. Diane was born Feb. 27, 1947, in Brooklyn, New York, a daughter of the late Mary and Ignatias Bogdanski. Her parents moved to Iselin to raise their family and Diane ended up settling in Belford 47 years ago.
After retiring from her career at Purolator, Diane went on to be an office manager for several recreational vehicle companies. She started with Sun RV Headquarters and, after that company split, she went to work for Germaine’s RV Headquarters in Cream Ridge. She most recently worked for Adventures on Wheels, closer to home in Middletown.
Diane loved spending time at the beach. When she was home, she could often be found watching “Judge Judy,” listening to Elvis or cooking. She was especially known for her deviled eggs and pepper steak. She will fondly be remembered as a loving mother, proud and doting grandmother and dear friend.
Diane is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, John and Maureen Urbine. She also leaves behind two sisters, Terry Goley and Marianne Aquaro; along with five grandchildren, Ashley, Matthew, John, Julianna and Liam; and five great-grandchildren.
Friends and relatives paid their respects Aug. 7 and 8 with a service Aug. 8 at Scott & Kedz Home for Funerals, Belford. Burial and committal took place at Bayview Cemetery.
