Diane will be remembered and cherished as a strong, independent, and indestructible woman.

Diane Holland (nee Lobel), of Bensalem, PA, passed away peacefully on August 26, 2026, at the age of 67. She was born on December 19th, 1958, in Chester, PA to William Lobel and Ilse Feldheim. Diane will be remembered and cherished as a strong, independent, and indestructible woman, by her son Corey Zev Holland, and especially by all of the people who knew her and loved her. She collected friends from all backgrounds and ages, drawing everyone in with her love, vibrant spirit, and infectious laughter. To describe Diane as an incredibly special woman would be an understatement.

You would often find Diane out at a psychedelic rock show, organizing a charity event, or surrounded by her family. Diane’s status as a devoted Grateful Dead fan was legendary. She knew everyone in the local scene, loved to tailgate at shows, and was so loved that she even received a personal dedication from the bands on stage.

Her passionate advocacy for Israel can be traced back to countless memories and stories from the times she lived and visited. Diane had been considering adopting the Hebrew name Dona, meaning lady and representing grace and strength, reflecting her lasting connection to Jewish tradition. She was also a vocal advocate for the rights of the underprivileged. This dedication to the causes she believed in was mirrored in her 20 years at Willis Towers Watson, where she contributed greatly to their culture and operations, as well as in her charity work with organizations such as Chosen 300 and Philabundance, and in the food and warm clothing she brought to anyone she thought needed it.

Yet, despite all her commitments, she still made time to prioritize her family. Her contributions to keeping the Lobel family connected (a family stemming from her father’s 11 brothers and sisters) will be forever remembered and honored. She kept the family picnics going year after year, making sure everyone stayed involved in each other's lives, and getting everyone lined up for the family picture. She loved to have a good time, made the most of every moment, and would want everyone she loved to do the same.
