A Woman of Faith
January 3, 1958 – July 25, 2025
Diane Barbara (Cowley) Hoehn died quietly at home in Princeton on July 25, 2025 with her adoring husband, Bob, her son, Bobby, and her sisters, Mary and Joan, by her side after a four-year battle with ovarian cancer.
Diane was born January 3, 1958 to Lawrence and Barbara Cowley, the middle of seven children. She attended St. David’s School in Willow Grove, Pa. and Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster, Pa.
After two years working for the Secret Service, she studied accounting at Temple University, where she graduated at the top of her class with a 4.0 GPA. After Temple, she began her career with Price Waterhouse in Philadelphia.
In May, 1984, Diane married Bob Hoehn. They adopted their children, Greg and Bobby (then Joey) in 1991.
Diane, in addition to her role as mother, did charity work as CFO of the St. Vincent de Paul Society for Central Jersey, and for the Finance Counsel and as Trustee of St. Paul Parish, in Princeton. Diane was a devoted parishioner of St. Paul’s and a regular attendee of daily mass. Her brilliant exuberance was regularly on display throughout the parish.
Diane’s intelligence and unwavering joy touched everyone she met. Her dazzling smile and brilliant blue eyes lit up every room she entered. She had an unabating faith in Jesus Christ, which, along with outstanding medical care and sheer strength, allowed her to far outlast her diagnosis.
Those extra years with her husband and grandchildren were cherished by all around her to the end. Diane particularly cherished her time with her grandsons, Aidan and Jaxon.
Diane is survived by her mother, Barbara, her husband, Bob, her sons, Greg and Bobby, her siblings, Tim, Mary (Paris), Joan (Pellini), Bobby, Paul, and Phil, and her grandchildren, Briana, Chloe, Aidan, Jaxon, and RJ. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to St. Paul Parish or the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
A memorial mass will be celebrated at 10 am on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at St. Paul’s Catholic Church 216 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542. Burial will follow in St. Paul’s Cemetery.
Arrangements are under the direction of The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home.
