Gina Marie Benjou Romano, 60, entered into rest on Sunday,
June 2, 2024, surrounded by the love of her daughters,
sister, and husband. Daughter of the late RoseMarie Accilli
and Paul Benjou, she was born in Manhattan, NY. She later
moved to the Hudson Valley and as she would say lived her
best life in Newburgh, NY.
Gina was welcomed to the world on October 8, 1963. She lived
the majority of her life and raised her family in Orange
County. There she made the most incredible connections and
lifelong friendships. Gina loved to sing, dance, and spend
her nights on the boat with her husband Jimmy. Being around
Gina always felt like sunshine; she knew how to brighten
everybody's day just by being in her presence. She will
always be remembered for her kindness, generosity, beautiful
smile, contagious laugh, endless strength, and most
importantly the love of her hairspray.
Gina had an amazing work ethic. She loved her small
business, Simple Treasures, as well as working as the
financial coordinator at Van Vliet Orthodontics. She never
stopped working to support her family, even if that meant 7
days a week.
Gina is survived by her loving daughters, Brittany,
Jacquelyn, and Danielle Bloomer, her incredible sister
Helena Coudrey, her amazing husband James Romano, her
beloved grandson Justin Geyer Jr., and her niece and nephews
Mark, Michael and Megan Risio.
Per Gina's wishes, a memorial mass will be held on Saturday,
June 8th at Sacred Heart Church in Newburgh, NY at 10 am. In
lieu of flowers, donations can be made under Gina’s name
to Hudson Valley Hospice of Ulster County. - October 18,
1963 ~ June 2, 2024
