Gianna's Story

Gianna Palmieri was a passenger in a car that was hit by a driver under the influence of drugs and alcohol on January 30, 2021.  All of the medical personnel involved in her care did everything they could to try and save her and she fought hard but God called her home on February 9, 2021. 

Gianna was a resident of Little Egg Harbor, NJ and was a junior at Pinelands Regional High School.  She enjoyed spending time with her friends and teachers.  She was an honor student who was looking forward to her induction into the National Honor Society.  She enjoyed participating in school clubs and activities such as Interact and Wildcats In Action.  She enjoyed supporting the wrestling team where she was the team manager and was looking forward to this year's season.  Her love for dancing with the Spotlight Competition Team led to her dancing in the school musicals.

​

Gianna loved music.  She played piano and sang along to every song on the radio, regardless of its genre.  She enjoyed sewing and organizing her closet.  It could never be too organized for Gianna!  She loved to travel and planned on seeing the world.  A true animal lover, she cared for them all.  Most of all she was a daddy's girl and also her mom's best friend and she always enjoyed spending time with her brother Gerard.

​

Giana was kind and compassionate, always putting others before herself.  She saw the beauty in everything and everybody.  Her gentle soul is greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
