Virginia Elizabeth “Ginny” Scaramuzzino (nèe Mento) passed away unexpectedly in her home on Monday, November 17^th, 2025. She was 67 years old. Ginny was born on August 22^nd, 1958, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Paul Mento and Elizabeth “Betty” (nèe Cain) Mento. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Salvatore Scaramuzzino Sr, father Paul, mother Betty, her brother Francis “Frank” Mento, her father-in-law Bruno Scaramuzzino, and mother-in-law Dolores Scaramuzzino (nèe Ciminera).

Ginny grew up at 28^th & Snyder in South Philadelphia, where she would have lively disputes with her first cousins who lived in the area, and after graduating from St. Maria Goretti High School, she began her career in office administration, recently having achieved 20 years of service at GlaxoSmithKline. At a fateful Halloween party held by friends in the early 1980s, she was awestruck by the hair-covered chest of Salvatore Sr. In 1983, the two were married and, a few years later, welcomed a son, Salvatore Jr., affectionately known as “Salvy.” Raising Salvy was the greatest joy of Ginny’s life. Later, the family moved to Springfield, Delaware County, where they spent nearly 30 happy years watching Salvy grow up, carting him and his friends to karate, football practice, concerts, and the mall, hosting holiday dinners for copious amounts of friends and relatives, as well as enjoying and supporting each other.

In addition to Salvy, though not nearly as much, Ginny loved to cook, eat, and be with family watching QVC, any show starring Tom Selleck, Motown, and Marlboro Lights were guilty pleasures of Ginny’s. Her love of dragonflies and cardinals was just as well-known as her abhorrence of snakes. She spent countless days at the family shore house in Ventnor Heights, New Jersey and would be spotted on summer mornings with her cup of coffee on the front porch, saying hello to neighbors and passersby.

Above all things, Ginny deeply believed in people being treated justly and the way you would want to be treated. She wanted everyone to be fed, clothed, and have a home. Ginny was an absolute beacon of warmth and light regardless of the circumstance. She shared her light unabashedly with co-workers at places of business across the area, with many becoming life-long friends.

Ginny is survived by her son Salvy and daughter-in-law Sandra “Sandi” Tarsitano, sister-in-law Liz Hammonds (nèe Scaramuzzino), brother-in-law Robert Hammonds, and many loving cousins.

Relatives & Friends are invited to her viewing Tuesday Nov. 25th 9:30-10:45am at St Kevin Church 200 W. Sproul Road in Springfield. Ginny’s funeral mass will be held at 11am. Interment will be at SS Peter & Paul cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Ginny’s honor to Philabundance at giving@philabundance.org

Ginny blessed me in many ways. My success at work was directly linked to her support. I thank The Lord for blessing me with the opportunity to work with Ginny, and I pray for healing for her family in this season of grief.

Ginny was such a kind and helpful person. I am so sad to hear of her passing but know that she is surely at her place in Heaven. May God grant you peace and comfort during this time. My prayers are with you.

So sorry for your loss. Ginny will be missed by those of us privileged to know her at GSK.

Ginny, your gentle and caring spirit has always been a place of warmth over the year i have work with you. You will missed dearly. May your soul rest in peace.

In memory of a dear friend, Ginny, you will be missed dearly.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Ginny will be truly missed. A one of a kind good person. One of my mentors from day one at g s k, she took me through all of the ropes... love you, ginny and you will be missed.Immensely

Ginny was more than a colleague—she was my “work mom.” She guided, supported, and cared for me in a way I’ll never forget. Her kindness, wisdom, and warmth made every day better, and her presence will be deeply missed. I’m grateful for everything she taught me and for the love she shared so freely. Her memory will stay with me always.

Our deepest sympathies to the Scaramuzzino Family. We were Ginny's next door neighbors. She was a wonderful person, always willing to lend a helping hand. Ginny will be truly missed. Sincerely, Enza and Louis Nocella

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss... Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

To know Ginny was to experience warmth, kindness, and an unwavering sense of care. She had a rare gift for making every person feel seen, valued, and genuinely loved—whether through her gentle words, her generous spirit, or her steady presence. Ginny’s ability to bring comfort, connection, and light into any room made her not only a treasured coworker, but someone whose influence touched lives far beyond the workplace. Prayers for her and Sal in heaven and her family on Earth.

Ginny was one of the sweetest people that I knew. She was always upbeat and kindhearted. Her passing is very sad for all of her loved ones. She’s now rejoined with her loving Husband and parents and all her loving heavenly relatives. She’s now full of peace and joy. Love you Ginny

Ginny was my co-worker for many years, but more than that Ginny was my dear friend. I am truly blessed to have the pleasure of knowing Ginny. One of the hardest workers, but so much more than that was how big and kind her heart was. No matter what she was going through, the first thing she would always ask were how were my boys? Send me pictures. I enjoyed all of her stories, and any time we had together. May she be at peace and with her dear Sal again. Thinking of all her family, especially Sal and Sandi!

My deepest condolences. I met Ginny when I first joined GSK and she was always the sweetest. Truly one of the kindest and most genuine people I have met. She was loved and appreciated by many.

Dear Sal and Sandi,Ginny will be missed by all of us. She was an incredible partner and wonderful friend to our team at Unboxed.

Ginny was a kind and warm human being who touched many lives and made them better. Planting this tree in her memory with deepest sympathy,

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

The greatest joy in life is to love and be loved, and anyone who knew Ginny felt the truth of that in the way she lived. She loved openly, generously, and without conditions. And nothing brought her more joy or pride than her son, whom she adored with her whole heart. It’s hard to make sense of a loss so sudden, but I hope her family and all who loved her can find comfort in the countless lives she touched. May her memory be a blessing, and may we hold onto the love she shared so freely-the love that made her unforgettable.

May this tree bring smiles, joy, and care to the world as you brought to me and so many others that had the privilege to know and work alongside you!

Remembering Ginny in our hearts, as she brought such care, laughter, and love to those she served each day. Deepest condolences to the family.

Ginny was not only an amazing help at work during my time living in Philly, but she made.me feel welcomed, loved and cared for. (Even my NY Mets loving self in a world of Phillies fans!) I've missed you in life, now I will.miss you in this next chapter. Thank you sweet Ginny''til we meet again". Love to your family

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Ginny was a light giver in everything she did. Her laugh was infectious and her attitude to get things done was top notch. We worked together at GSK when all of global learning was consolidated and, as always, Ginny was the lynchpin to keeping Canada L&D running! A beautiful soul!

I worked with Ginny for many years and her grace, love and laughter is something I will never forget. She was truly one of the kindest souls I have ever had the privilege of knowing and she will be missed.

While I didn’t have the opportunity to meet Ginny, I am so thankful to know the greatest gift she ever created - her son Sal. Sal encompasses all the wonderful attributes his parents have. He’s smart, witty, engaging, and most importantly he is kind. The world is a better place for everything Ginny did.

Ginny was a warm-hearted person...I loved sharing "sitting on the porch down by the shore" with her. She was deeply loved at GSK!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
