August 26, 1942 – September 27, 2025

Diane entered Heaven on Saturday, September 27, 2025, after a life devoted to faith, family, friendship, and the countless children whose lives she touched through decades of teaching.
Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Diane was the only child of John and Helen Hallock. She graduated from Trinity University in her hometown and went on to pursue graduate studies in Iowa. Diane dedicated over 30 years to teaching elementary school, including several years in Special Education before settling into her role as a beloved 2nd grade teacher until her retirement. She cherished each of her students and kept every gift and ornament ever given to her throughout her teaching career.
Diane’s life was defined by service and community. A faithful and active member of First Baptist Church of Natalia, she gave her time generously over the decades. Whether teaching Sunday School, serving in the Children’s Ministry, worshipping in the choir, or volunteering wherever there was a need, she built lifelong friendships grounded in shared faith and love.
She also found joy in fellowship and fun, especially when it involved shopping trips with family and friends to craft and vendor shows like The Peddler Show in Fredericksburg and the Nutcracker Market in Houston.
Although strokes affected her mobility during retirement, she remained faithful in her trust of the Lord. She loved spending time with her grandchildren—attending their activities, enjoying family events at the farm, and celebrating holidays together.
In March of 1968 in San Antonio, Diane married Harold, after meeting him on a blind date. They were happily married for 53 years, building a life together rooted in love, loyalty, and shared purpose.
Diane was preceded in death by her husband Harold Querner, her father John Hallock, and her mother Helen Hallock.
She is survived by her daughter Kim Querner Chiboroski and son-in-law Craig Chiboroski; her cherished grandchildren Hannah Grossman, Lauren Chiboroski, and Craig “CJ” Chiboroski Jr.; nephew Arthur Querner (wife Mandy); and niece Sharra Querner.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Agape Heritage Home for the compassionate care and love they showed Diane over the years.
Her legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew her as a devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother, faithful servant, loyal friend, and extraordinary teacher.
Diane’s life was celebrated on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at First Baptist Church of Natalia at 10:00am and interment service at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Shelter #5, at 1:45pm, in San Antonio, Texas.
