Gilda D. Lauria (nee DiPietro), on June 11, 2014, of Washington Twp. Age 77. Devoted mother of Richard Lauria, Joann Marotta (Louis) and Judi Lauria. Loving grandmother of Alexis, Marcus, Justin, Louis II, Giavana and Domenic. Dear sister of Dora F. Milano. Also survived by loving nieces, nephews and good friends.
Gilda Lauria was born on July 2, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was the youngest of seven children. Gilda will be fondly remembered for her good sense of humor. Not an occasion went by without a prank from Aunt Jill. Her favorite thing to do was laugh, and get together with family and friends; that she did till the end! She will always be remembered for her love of animals, her obsession with black licorice, her specialty dishes: homemade manicotti and lemon meringue pie, though it always flopped! Gilda was a strong-willed woman and a fighter to the end. She was loved by all and will be dearly missed.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing Monday 8:15 – 10:15 am at the EGIZI FUNERAL HOME, 119 Ganttown Road, Washington Twp. Mass of Christian Burial 11:00 am at Mary Mother of Mercy Parish, Our Lady of Lourdes RC Church, Glassboro. Interment SS. Peter & Paul Cemetery, Springfield, PA.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Gilda’s memory may be made to the American Cancer Society, 1851 Old Cuthbert Road, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034. Condolences may be shared with the family at www.egizifuneral.com.

Thank you Gilda for having the courage to accept the responsibilities and sacrifices associated with allowing me to enter this world and you to become my mom.
Thank you mom for instilling in me the values that have assisted me in growing into the person that i am.
Thank you mom for all the things you gave up to ensure that your children were cared for.
Thank you mom for supporting me in all my endeavors, foolish or otherwise, it was something i could always count on.
Thank you mom for showing such love to your three beautiful grandchildren who i believe i have passed on some of the love and values you have given to me.
Thank you mom for passing down to Alexis her persistence, to Marcus his ball busting sense of humor(oh poor JB takes the brunt of it) and to Justin for his sensitivity and kindness to others. And for JB who wants to say goodbye and leave you some hair.
Thank you mom, just for being my mom.
Reap your rewards now, it is your time.

Well Mom, yesterday was the big day. Oh and as expected you went out with a bang. i could only think of one way to honor you and that was to hold up the tradition of us being late. we started out with such good intentions. i could hear judi seething all the way in west chester. only five minutes though so wasnt too bad. we did stay to the last minute so at least you cant say we left early like you always did.
the number of people who said goodbye was impressive. it made me feel so good to see all the lives you touched.
you almost did a somersault when maries's joey leaned a little to far in to kiss you goodbye. its ok the boys would have caught you.
the manicotti eulogy was interesting but by the time he was finally through it i was starving and had they been in the oven they would have burned. oh no we know how that would have made you mad.
maria dijohn came through big time with her remembrance of you at the close of the ceremony. thank you maria.
oh and the ride to the cemetery, well let me just say it was memorable. again, maries joey took the lead and let the funeral director know how much he appreciated their navigation. thanks joe.
i know visiting the cemetary wasnt up there on your list of to dos but i am so glad you are now with grandmom. you can share some cooking stories. oh those were priceless. two bulls working side by side in a kitchen of love.
and finally, when the priest spritzed you with holy water i saw a couple of droplets stream down the side of your new physical home. i thought of them as your tears. but there is no need to be sad mom, everyone you have touched is better for it and we know you will always be around.
Love you and be at peace!
