Diana Z Manduca's Obituary
Diana Z. Manduca, 89 died Saturday, February 25, 2017 in Plainsboro, NJ.
Mrs. Manduca was born in Brooklyn, NY and was raised both there and in Middletown, NY. She later settled in Princeton Jct., NJ in 1955 where she raised her family and lived her entire adult life.
A graduate of Middletown High School Class of 1946, Diana received a full-tuition Regents Scholarship after scoring a perfect 100% on the exams. Diana earned her undergraduate degree in Chemistry at St. John's University. She earned a Master's degree in Psychology at The City College of New York and then continued on to earn her certification as a School Psychologist at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
When choosing an educational and career path, Diana limited her choices to what she considered to be a profession that helped others and she ultimately chose psychology. Diana began her professional career as a psychologist in the East Windsor Regional School District and then spent most of her career with the Lawrence Township Public Schools. After her retirement, she volunteered her time with the Child Placement Review Board of the Mercer County Court System. Diana's life's work was driven by a passion and desire to help others.
Diana held a deep love of the Italian culture, its art, literature, architecture, and food, and participated in several local cultural organizations. She was fluent in Italian and traveled extensively throughout Italy. She was also an accomplished piano player.
Diana was predeceased by her daughter Suzanne. A loving wife and mother, Diana is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years Michael L. Manduca, her children Arlene, Robert, and Steven Manduca, granddaughter Alessandra, a brother Dr. Ralph Zito, and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
