Diana Lynn Neely

After a long hard-fought battle with cancer, on Sunday, July 6, 2025, Diana Lynn (Clement) Neely, age 66, of Mt Lebanon, passed away with family, friends and her loyal cat, Shiloh, by her side. She was wife of 39 years to Terry Neely; loving mother of Sean Neely (Destinee Ament) and Kayla (Luke) Holding; devoted grandmother to Taylour, Austin and Maeve Neely and Henry Holding; loving sister of Gary (Ann) Clement and the late Raymond “Raymie” Clement; cherished sister-in-law to Bill Neely (Sandy Sage), Ann (Jack) Barnfield, Mary Webb, Nicole Hredzak, Linda Goss and the late Scott Neely (survived by Roberta); she is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and devoted friends and neighbors. Diana was born in 1959 to the late Pearl (Godlesky) and the late Raymond Clement. She spent her early years growing up on Jucunda Street in Pittsburgh’s Beltzhoover neighborhood where she attended St. George’s School. Her family then moved to South Park where she attended South Park High School. She went on to work at Prudential Insurance and then at St. Clair Hospital in their Billing Department where she retired. Diana’s life can best be encapsulated by these words: family, friends, and laughter. Diana was devoted to her children and grandchildren. Everything revolved around them and their well-being. She was known to her grandchildren as “DeeDee” and delighted in this role as grandmother. Her big heart, infectious laugh, and perfect Pittsburgh accent were the best parts of her. She made sure those around her knew how much she loved them and yet her sassy side always kept them in-line. The last few years were not easy for Diana but her strong will and bravery were truly remarkable. Though we did not want to say good-bye, we can find comfort knowing she is no longer in pain and finally at peace. Her love and legacy will live on in everyone who knew her. We will remember her strength and sassy spirit always. Friends received Friday, July 11, 2025, from 4 – 8 p.m. at the GRIFFITH FUNERAL HOME, INC., 5636 Brownsville Road, (at 6th Street) South Park Twp. (412) 655-4600. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held in St. Paul of the Cross Parish – St. Winifred Church on Saturday, July 12 at 10 a.m., located at 550 Sleepy Hollow Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15228.
