Diana J. Derasmo, of West Long Branch, entered the Church Triumphant on Thursday, May 4, 2023. She was 85 years old. Born in Long Branch, New Jersey, Diana was the daughter of the late Joseph and Helen Smith Boynton.
Diana was raised in West Long Branch with her two brothers and a graduate of Long Branch High School class of 1955. Diana married Fred, the love of her life in 1956 and they began their family shortly thereafter. Before getting married Diana worked at Vogel’s Department Store, after getting married she worked for Bamberger’s/Macy’s, and she recently retired from Children’s Center of Monmouth County in 2020. Diana was an active member of Reformation Lutheran Church in West Long Branch and a dedicated volunteer and founder of the Reformation Lutheran Church Food Pantry.
Diana enjoyed working, volunteering, and helping others. She loved creating artwork out of ceramics, reading romance novels, puzzles, cooking, and baking. When home relaxing, she enjoyed watching classic movies, especially Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chan mysteries. Most of all, however, she loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Diana is predeceased by her parents Joseph and Helen Smith Boynton, and her brothers Robert and Charles “Chip” Boynton.
She is survived by her loving husband Fred Derasmo, her children Frederick Jr. and his wife Karen DeRasmo of Landenberg, PA, Mark and his wife Nathalie Derasmo of West Long Branch, and Gina Marie and her husband Christopher Fyfe of Eatontown, grandchildren Joseph, Alexis, Amanda, and Jordan, and great-grandchildren Nathalie, Adaline, Anthony, Dylan, and Ella.

Mom, you were always our Rock of Gibraltar! You taught us how to love and trust and see people how they truly are.

God bless you mom!

Mom, as I am sitting on the bench in front of you, I am overwhelmed with sadness, missing you so much already. Dad gave you the absolute BEST send off. He just loves you SOOOOO much. I hope Joan was waiting for you with lots of "leftovers!"
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Gina, Fred and family and dear friend and co-worker, Diana: I will always remember how kind Diana was to me when I first started working at CCMCo in 1998. Diana helped me through some very tough days as I had lost my husband shortly after starting to work there. I am still employed part-time but miss Diana's smiling face when I come to work and look into her old office. Diana always had words of wisdom to share and I'll never forget how she comforted me when I lost my Shi-Tzu Bernice. Diana will be sorely missed but it is comforting for me to know that she is with our Lord and in a better place. I miss you terribly my friend.
Sincerely, Lila "D"

Dear Diana,
I truly respected you and admired your work ethic. You held ius all accountable to show up to work everyday as you should have. But you also made everyone smile and laugh with your funny sense of humor. You would put me at ease when I couldn't come in to wotk because my kids were home sick. Your kind heart and words of wisdom always made me feel better. I already dearly missed your presence at work and will always remember the impact you made on me. I pray you know how much you meant to me and so many others.
With love and admiration,
Reagan Berger

Mom... I've started this message 4x today but couldn't finish it. After sitting to look at your life through pictures, I am seeing more and more what a wonderful life you lived. Dad keeps telling everyone what a great woman you were and still are. We LOVE listening to him tell stories about how you met and when you were dating... his face lights up when he does. You two set the best example of love and marriage for your children and grandchildren; we all strive to follow your example. I've learned so much from you, things I will cherish all my life. I miss you like CrAzY but am so happy that you are in a place now where you can get up, walk around and be happy, watching over us all with no sadness or pain... I am glad you were able to leave on your terms... we all love you so much!

Dayana meant a special person, and in a short time she meets a woman with strong character but with a heart full of love and nobility, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to take care of her and be able to be with her. During that time I could see in her and in her husband Fred, the true marriage that God wants, in health and in illness.. thank you for making me feel part of her family and her heart, she will always be in my memories.. may God bless you all and fill you with strength to continue, with the assurance that Dayana is in a wonderful place... blessings
