Gina’s parents were first generation Italians from Citta San’Angelo, in the Abruzzi region and she was very proud of her Italian heritage.

She was a devout Catholic and a member of St. Richard Catholic Church, Manheim, PA. She was a member of Seven Sorrows BVM Catholic Church, Middletown, Pa. for 43 years before moving to Lancaster County.

Nothing meant more to Gina than her loving family, whom she cherished above all else. One of her greatest joys was eating out, especially breakfast with her children and grandchildren.
