Diane Patricia Croitor, of Davidson, NC, formerly of Cape May Court House, NJ, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 5, 2024. Diane was a Registered Nurse for more than 50 years, spending several years as VP of Operations for a long-term care company. She inspired others with her passion for teaching and the love that she had for her patients and staff. She spent the last 10 years in Tennessee and North Carolina helping to raise her grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. She loved to read, loved history and anything Outlander. She was very involved with ancestry research and loved to travel. She had a passion for music which often meant jam sessions and singing in her car with head rocking and air piano playing. Her grandchildren will always cherish "Life Lesson Wednesdays with Nana", and all her family knew that she loved us with passion. She was quick to strike up a conversation with most anyone and found ways to connect through stories and her "joie de vivre". Diane was born on December 18, 1948, in Pitman, NJ. Her family moved to Cape May Court House when she was 9 years old. Diane is preceded in death by her parents, Lawrence Robert Parks and Barbara Winifred Schilder Parks; sisters, Sharon Molly Parks, Roberta Johnson; and her former husband, Theodore J. Croitor Sr. The most important thing in life to Diane was her family, and she will forever be remembered as a loving mother, Nana, Aunt DeeDee, sister and friend. She leaves a lasting legacy to be cherished by her survivors; daughters, Sherryl Croitor and son-in-law, Pierre Hennaux, Theresa Walton and son-in-law, Joseph Walton; son, Theodore Croitor and daughter-in-law, Jennifer Santiago; grandchildren, Eva and Jean-Pierre Hennaux, Annabella, Teddy and Damian Croitor; step-grandchildren, Alicia and Caleigh Walton; brother, Bob Parks; niece, Eileen Bennett and her husband, Ed Bennett; great nephews, Ryan and Jackson Bennett; nieces, Nicole Parks and Rhiannon Galimore; nephews, Jason Lennan and Ricky Johnson; beloved friends, Betty Jean and husband, John Webersinn and cousins, Barb and Steve. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all the nurses, physicians, and staff. Your kindness will never be forgotten. Cavin-Cook Funeral Home and Crematory, Mooresville, is serving the Croitor family. Condolences may be made to the family at www.cavin-cook.com.
