Obituary
At 64 years of age, Diane passed away Sunday at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston after the cancer she battled for the last 5 years had suddenly relapsed. She was born in Tom's River NJ and grew up in Tewksbury. She graduated from Tewksbury High School. She married Gerald P Finn and together they resided in Chelsea for the past 43 years. She received her Associates Degree in Secretarial Sciences from BHCC. She worked at Chelsea City Hall for several years with various departments there. She was also employed as a security screener with TSA at Logan International Airport for ten years before resigning for health reasons five years ago. In her lifetime Diane enjoyed her time around the family swimming pool, entertaining family and friends, cooking and socializing. She enjoyed craft projects and traveling to visit family in Chicago or to Florida or the Cape - wherever there was water or a pool to swim in. She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Gerald P. Finn, Jr. She was the beloved and devoted mother of Christopher Finn and his wife Erica of Saugus and Timothy Finn and his wife Megan of Chicago IL. Dear sister of Mark Fay of NH, Marion Kyner of VA, James Fay of Dracut, Frank Fay of Bedford, Robert Fay of Salem NH, Roberta Carroll of Plainville, Scott Fay of Lancaster, Billy Fay of NH, Raymond Fay of S. Lawrence, Tracy Fay of NH, and the late Jimmy, Anne and Brian Fay. Cherished niece of Nancy Glennon of Amherst, Donna Girard of Buzzards Bay, Marie O'Reagan of Everett and Albert Fay of Peabody and loved cousin of Steven and Fran Drysdale of Haverhill. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
