Geraldine Diorio "GiGi"

Geraldine “Gigi” DiOrio, age 64, passed away peacefully on April 11, 2026, with her children by her side after a long and courageous fight.

She was the beloved daughter of the late Nicholas and Gerry Gregorio, and the devoted wife of Joseph “Moey” DiOrio.

Gigi was a loving and proud mother to Nicoletta DiOrio (Ralph Gonzalez) and Joey DiOrio (Chase Hutt), and a cherished Mom-Mom to Anthony Gonzalez and Gianna Gonzalez, who brought her endless joy.

She was the beloved sister of Nicky (Theresa) Gregorio, Roselena (the late Tom) Zito, Denise (the late Bobby) Rae, and Rosemarie (Tony) Varallo. She was predeceased by her brothers Richie Gregorio and Frankie Gregorio, as well as Diane Bozzi and Chris Gallone.

Gigi is also survived by her loving roommate and dear friend Kelly Chandler, her lifelong friend Ely Torres, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She was a fiercely loyal friend to so many and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Gigi had a gift for making everyone she met feel special and loved. Strong-willed, generous, and full of life, she would give you the shirt off her back without hesitation. She found her greatest happiness in time spent with family and friends—especially when it included a trip to the slots.

She was truly one of a kind and lived life on her own terms—just like her favorite song, “My Way” by Frank Sinatra.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing on Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Annunciation B.V.M. Church, 10th & Dickinson Streets, Philadelphia, PA. A Funeral Mass will follow at 11:00 AM. Entombment Holy Cross Cemetery Yeadon, Pa.
