Virginia Giordano Lomanto was born on October 9, 1915 to Italian Immigrants, Pete Giordano and Mary Sciarrino Giordano Greco. Virginia has joined her beloved husband Tony who she married on December 1, 1940, and had 34 years with the love of her life.
She moved to Morgan Hill where she and Tony operated a ranch where she resided and was blessed with two children Gary (deceased) and Lydia. Virginia is survived by her daughter Lydia Pine and her beloved grandchildren Paul Lomanto, Tina Owen, Kari Pine and six great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband, loving son Gary and adoring brothers Samuel, Vincent and Charlie. She had a passion for entertaining, gardening, cooking & canning. She was someone who realized the importance of creativity, working hard and getting a job done. Virginia was known for her vibrant personality, energy and a smile that could light up a room. She was always there for those she loved and who loved her. At 101 years old she still had a passion for life and meeting new and cherished friends. She always took pride in taking care of herself. She felt if you dressed up and took care of yourself it would make you happier if you look good you feel good. Virginia was a member of many clubs; Women in Touch (WIT), Italian Mothers Club, and the Flower Lovers Club. She lived a happy and full life and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was an inspiration to many people, and an example on how to grow old gracefully. A special thank you for the loving care provided by Davina Tyson who is a true angel! Also, a special thank you to Virginia Handley, Teresa DePalma, and other friends for their thoughtfulness and many kind gestures that made her last years so special.
