Mary Jane Dibling

July 12, 1925 - July 12, 2021

Mary Jane Dibling ( Nee: Baczenski ) entered eternal rest on the very same day she entered this world, 96 years later. Our family, and the city of South Amboy lost a devoted wife, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and teacher. Many people in town experienced the love and commitment that Mary demonstrated in the classroom for 30 plus years. Mary was born in Sayreville, NJ to John and Victoria Baczenski. She attended Sacred Heart Elementary School and St. Mary’s High School. It was there that she met the love of her life, Herbert L. Dibling. They married in 1947 and built their home and family in South Amboy. Mary resided there until 2016 when she moved to North Brunswick. A graduate of Kean University, Mary devoted her life to teaching at both Sacred Heart and South Amboy Elementary Schools. Mary was bilingual and could often be found tutoring Polish speaking children in her home. Teaching was the cornerstone of her life. She also enjoyed cooking, baking, tinkering in her rose garden and photography. If you knew Mary, you must have posed for a photo at some point. Mary and Herb took great pride and joy in sharing their captioned photo albums. Mary was predeceased by her husband Herbert and her son, Larry, both in 2014. She was also predeceased by her sisters Helen Seaman and Cecilia Fabiszewski. She is survived by her daughter and son in law, Denise and Paul Kusic, and her son and daughter in law, John and Janice Dibling. Her grandchildren include Kristen Posner (Leo), Jessica Posner (Christopher), Paul B. Kusic, Jonathan Dibling and Jade Dibling. Her legacy also lives on in her great grandchildren Baylen, Olivia, Mason, Landon and Evelynn Posner. In addition she is survived by her brother and sister in law, Carl and Doris Dibling as well as many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Our family would like to express our sincere gratitude to Nino Jankhoteli for her loving care of Mary during her final years. Her kindness and unwavering loyalty will never be forgotten.
