Gabriella Lucia "Lucy" Amoroso,86, Royersford
Gabriella Lucia "Lucy" (DiPrinzio) Amoroso, age 86, of Royersford, PA, beloved wife of the late Pietro "Nick" Amoroso, died peacefully surrounded by her family on Saturday, February 3, 2018 and was reunited with "the love of her life, Nick."
Gabriella was born in Guardiagrele, Italy Condrada San Biase Province of Chieti. She was the daughter to the late Alpinolo and Pierina (DiPrinzio) DiPrinzio.
Gabriella was raised in Italy where she met and married her childhood sweetheart and then moved to the United States. Gabriella and Nick were happily married for sixty-four years. They lived most of their married life in Pottstown and Royersford.

Gabriella was a faithful member of St. Thomas More Parish in North Coventry. She was a hardworking woman all of her life. She was a devoted wife, as well as a loving, devoted, and nurturing mother and grandmother to her children and grandchildren. Gabriella was never too busy to offer a lending hand to those in need. She was hospitable to anyone who entered her home, and no one would ever left hungry as she enjoyed cooking amazing meals and sharing them. She was known for her genuine, sweet, gentle, and kind demeanor to all who knew her.
