Bernadette Rita Gregull Evans of Media, formerly of Aston, passed away peacefully surrounded by her immediate family on June 10, 2025.

Bernadette was very active in St. Joseph Church, a member of the Ladies Auxiliary Guild and a member of the choir, and Aston Senior Citizens.

Bernadette was the daughter of the late William & Barbara Colella, and sister of the late Emily Rossillo and Abraham Colella.

Survivors: Devoted wife of Paul Evans. Bernadette was preceded in death by her beloved first husband, Albert Gregull. Loving mother of Janice Masciarelli, William (Nancy) Gregull. Step mother of August Franceshi, Bettyann Castelli, Susan Joyce, Paul Brian Evans, Michael Evans.

Cherished grandmother of Eric Masciarelli, Natalie Pawlus, and Jonathon (Jane) Gregull.

Bernadette is also survived by numerous loving nieces, nephews, and other family members who will miss her dearly.

A graduate of Upper Darby High School, Bernadette later moved to Aston where she lived for many years. While living in Aston, she was a member of the American Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary as well as St. Joseph Church and active in many church organizations, such as the Ladies Guild and choir. Bernadette stayed very busy with her involvement in the Aston Township Senior Citizen Association. Among her many accomplishments at the center was producing the monthly newsletter for many years.

Bernadette loved flower arranging and gardening. Her gardens were always abundant and maintained with care. Cooking and baking were a favorite pastime, especially her Italian specialties, and everyone always looked forward to holidays at her house, which were always warm and welcoming.

The beach was a favorite destination, especially with her family. Local in the summer and more exotic locations to escape the colder weather. Most summers she could be found under a beach umbrella on the hot sand. She also loved to travel to any location just to go sightseeing, meet the locals, and go shopping.

Nothing brought Bernadette more joy than driving her polished and pristine Cadillacs to Boscovs.

Known as HoneyB to her loving husband Paul, their introduction was a classic love story upon meeting later in life at Aston Senior Citizens. It was love at first sight and Paul feels she was the love of his life and made him feel very special. They had a lot of laughs and great moments over the twelve years they had been together.

Known as Mom to her children, Mom Mom to her grandchildren, who meant everything to her, Bernadette was loved by everyone. Though she may no longer be with us on this earthly plane, she lives on in our hearts and in every life she touched with her grace. If you dust off your dictionary and look up “grandmother”, there will be a full image spread of Mom Mom smiling back at you.

Visitation: Relatives and friends are invited to her Viewing Tues. June 17 at 9:30 -10:45 am at St. Joseph Church 3255 Concord Rd. Aston.

Funeral Mass 11 am

I meant to say this at the luncheon after the funeral. I am Bernadette's daughter in law Nancy. I always felt like her daughter. I met Bernadette Gregull aka Mom G aka The Other Mrs Gregull in October of 1995. When I arrived at their family home. She was at mass. Mr Gregull was home. We sat an waited for her to arrive. We were going out to celebrate her birthday. The following month was Thanksgiving. Natalie and I were invited for dinner. We celebrated many holidays together. I will cherish them always. We did many beach trips. Mom loved the beach. Plus don't forget the pool days. When Bill and I had our son Jonathon. Mom gave us Billy's christening outfit. What a treasure to pass on to future grandkids. We went to Stuart Drive in Aston alot. We would pack the car with the kid's an head to Mom's. Seems like a dream now. Mom and I would lay in bed with our PJs on looking at magazines. She loved magazines. We had alot of BBQs. Everything was homemade plus fried tomatoes. Mom had a vegetable and flower garden. We sat in the kitchen for hours after dinner. We made a big breakfast in morning. Between meals we had alot of Pepperidge farm cookies. Christmas Eve was special to Mom G. We would come to Aston to see Santa on a fire truck. Then a big fish dinner. Mom sang in the choir. So we all went to church together. Many years we stayed at Mom's for Christmas Eve. Christmas was special to Mom G. We decorated anything that moved inside and outside the house. We made alot of cookies. I never saw so many stocking gifts. Wow, I must have been really good. After Mom moved to Media. When we visited everyday was a party. We would have pizza, hoagies, soft pretzels, dark chocolate, cake, snacks, and beer. I am 100 percent sure that Mom G is in heaven. Their is no doubt in my mind. I am leaning heavily on my faith. I feel her smiling on all of us. Heaven has a new angel. Mom G please send us some signs. I will always love you. I will never forget to carry on your traditions. We will keep Paul under our wings. Love your daughter, Nancy

My honeyb, You are the love of my life. I am honored to be able to love you and married to you. I will always love you and miss you. I know you are in haven because god is looking for angles because you do not have a mean bone in your body. I miss you so, so much. We did every thing together and went every where together and enjoyed being together. She was a great cook. When she put out a holiday spread, it was perfect. She did not miss a thing. I know, because I helped her with the preparation. Bernadette kept a beautiful house and yard. She loved working in her flower beds but had to stop because of her knees. I than did it for her for a while. The first Christmas we had together she wore me out with all the decorations. She loved Christmas. I am so proud of her for all she accomplished before we meet.

This was read at church, Mom's Eulogy What is a super hero? Not all of you would be here today if my Mom, Bernadette had not touched your hearts in some way. Mom was Wonderful Woman and is with God now. Since a little boy, I always loved superhero's. Whether it was Superman, Green Hornet, or my favorite Batman. Eight year old Bill would run around the house with a towel as a cape as my Mom would look on. Older now, I still watch all the superhero shows and movies. But in all the Superhero's I've encountered there is no bigger superhero then my mom. My Mom was Wonder Woman. Mom could do anything. Let me explain. Mom was the greatest cook. Her Thanksgiving dinners are still being talked about. Mom's love of Christmas with decorating and baking cookies I do not know how she got it done. Presents and a decorated tree would magically appear every Christmas morning. Holes in your pants? Mom knew what to do. They would be magically be fixed. Math problems from school? Mom knew what to do. Mom was a doctor for skinned kees and hurt feelings. Mom was a reporter. She worked on the Aston Senior Citizen Paper. My Mom was a floral designer. Mom could spend countless hours doing floral arrangements for the annual St Joseph Bazaar. The arrangements Mom made were gorgeous. They would always sell out. Mom continued doing when she could her whole life. Mom was a gardener. She loved working with plants and flowers. Mom always has a garden. Mom had a rose garden of all different color roses. Mom was a baker. For example, every Christmas mom would make hundreds of beautiful pressed cookies. They were delicious. Mom was a taxi driver. She always got us to events. Mom was a singer. She loved listening and singing to music. She sang for the Choir of St. Joseph Church and loved it. Among her greatest accomplishments, however Mom loved being a Mom. Not just being a great Mom to my sister and me, but a Mom to her grandchildren who called her Mom Mom. A Mom to her nieces and nephews who called her Aunt Bernie. A Mom to her friends who called her Bernadette. Mom always had a strong faith in God and church. Sent my my sister and me to catholic school. Went to mass on a regular basis. Believed in God and Jesus with all her heart. Mom especially loved Mary the Mother of God. Mom loved this church. As a Super hero, Mom also had secret identities too. While known as Mom to my sister and me she was also known as Aunt Bernie, Mom Mom, Bernadette, spouse, wife and friend. You see my mom was Wonder Woman. The list I have here is so short in Mom's accomplishments. Mom, my Wonder Woman Mom, has and will always be the greatest superhero of all time. I miss her and love her so much.

Paul & Family, So sorry for your loss our prayers are with you and your family.

With heartfelt sympathy. Thinking of you.

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