Gina Louise Moscone

She was born to Carol Cavaretta Moscone and Eugene Moscone and spent her childhood and teenage years in Billerica, Massachusetts. It was there that Gina developed the independence, strength, unmistakable personality, and no-nonsense mindset that defined her throughout her life. In 1977, she moved with her family to Sunrise, Florida, where she later met her former husband, Keith Taddei, in 1987 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with whom she shared two children.

In 1995, Gina made what she often called one of the best decisions—moving her family to Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, so her children could grow up surrounded by extended family. In 2023, she moved to Hickory, North Carolina, to be closer to her own family, where she lived with her mother in her final years.

Gina was a devoted mother to her two children, Stephanie and Keith Jr. (KC). Her love only grew as her family expanded. She was a proud and deeply loving “Gigi” to her two grandchildren, Hudson and Grey. Though distance often kept them apart, there was never any doubt about Gina’s unconditional love for her family—she was deeply proud of her family and often called them her greatest blessing.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Carol and Eugene Moscone. Gina was the eldest of six children and is survived by her siblings Kim, Tina, Eugene, Beth, and Debbie.

Gina found her greatest peace at the beach, her happy place, where she could spend hours walking along the shore, collecting sea glass and watching the waves roll in. She was an incredible cook who made everything from scratch (her meatballs and gravy were beloved staples), always pouring love into every meal. Gina loved sunflowers, often saying they could brighten even the darkest days. Music was another joy in her life, with artists like Tom Jones, Sade, and The Rolling Stones among her favorites.

Gina had a gift for making people laugh and feel at ease. She brought humor and warmth wherever she went. There were no strangers in Gina’s world—she made it a point to truly see and get to know people.

A caregiver at heart, Gina spent much of her life helping others, especially in their most vulnerable moments. Aside from her own family, caregiving gave Gina the greatest sense of purpose in her life. She was a source of comfort, strength, and safety for many in their final days, offering compassion without hesitation.

Gina was beautiful inside and out—strong, forgiving, caring, and deeply human. She will be remembered as a loving mother and grandmother, a devoted daughter and sister, a woman who made everyone she met feel seen and heard, and one of the funniest people in any room.

She leaves behind a legacy of love that will never fade, carried on through her children and grandchildren and all those whose lives she touched.

Forever loved, forever missed—Gina will remain in our hearts always.

As she would say, “never goodbye, only next time.”
