GINA ROSE MARIE COLACINO KEUILIAN FAUTH, 70, passed away peacefully at her Costa Mesa home on February 2, 2011, with her husband Tom at her bedside and surrounded by loving family and friends. She was born in Manhattan, New York to Frank and Letizia Colacino. She moved from New York following her marriage to Ard Keuilian, finally settling in Garden Grove, CA.

Gina's life was full of family and friends and those she touched. She poured herself out to everyone she met - turning acquaintances into life-long friends. Opened her home for family and friends to stay, becoming a second mother to many. She took her kids and cousins to the movies, beach, theme parks, swimming and sleepovers. Years of being soccer wife, mom, coach and bowler. Adopted into the Armenian Church community. Teacher's aide, PTA mom, office wonder - making sure every customer and coworker was happy, no matter what. She revitalized service stations and people through her vibrant spirit. Beloved by her 5 grandchildren, she shared their sports, the Zoo, Sea World, Legoland and the Welk Resort with Grampa Tom. After a life of giving, she married Tom, who adored and pampered his Princess. They enjoyed Monday night football, BBQd crab and travel with friends and family. While her life was cut short by cancer, God blessed her with time for those who loved her and made her suffering so brief. She knew Jesus was the way to eternal life and waits patiently for us to join her. --
