A funeral mass took place June 29 at St. Augustine RC Church, Union City, for Margherita Diaz, 53, of Weehawken. She passed away suddenly at her home. Margherita was born in Molfetta, Italy and very proud of her Italian heritage. Mrs. Diaz was a former staff accountant with Hudson County News and later the Academy Bus Company.
She will be missed by her husband, Ralph Diaz; a stepson, Christian Duprey Diaz; her two sisters, Joanne Caswell and Nicoletta Reckhow; and her mother-in-law, Lady Diaz. She was predeceased by her parents, Giuseppe and Laura (nee: Mezzina) DeCandia; father-in-law, Miguel Diaz; and brother-in-law, William Reckhow. Maggie will also be remembered for her volunteer work with the Weehawken Ambulance Core (EMT). Also surviving are nieces and nephews. We especially acknowledge a nephew, Weehawken Police Officer Agusto Same for his kindness, John DeCandia, Nick and Joseph Tedesco, Michael Caswell, and Aunt Maria Garcia.
