Matthew Giannone

February 6, 2020

Giannone, Matthew, 90, of Ventnor passed away surrounded by his family on Thursday, February 6, 2020 at Spring Village of Galloway. Matt was married to his beloved wife, Mary for 55 years. He is preceded in death by his wife, Mary and his parents, Joseph and Anna Giannone. Matt cherished Mary and their children. His smile warmed his children’s hearts, even up to his final days. Matt and Mary had a successful plumbing business for years in South Philly. Everyone was welcome in their home, and no one left without a smile on their face. Matt was a natural comedian and his kids joked that the plumbing store was like his comedy venue. His customers enjoyed his company so much that they would sometimes visit for hours when they only needed a simple plumbing part. Matt loved boating and the shore. When the kids were young, Mary and he would pack the dog, the kids and his mom into the car and head for their house in Ventnor for the weekend. Matt and Mary eventually retired in Ventnor and spent many wonderful years there with their friends, children, grandchildren, and relatives. He is survived by his children, Joseph (Rita), Mark (Michele), Chris (Marlena), and Annmarie Brennan (Edward); grandchildren, Joseph, Lauren, Christina, Mark, Nicholas, Briana, and Samantha; his sister, Marie G. Littleton; and nephews, Ken Marshall (Theresa) and Tim Marshall (Tina). A visitation will be held on Tuesday, February 11th from 9:00 to 10:30 AM at Wimberg Funeral Home, 211 E. Great Creek Rd, Galloway with a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, Church of the Assumption, 146 S. Pitney Rd, Galloway.
