Diane Elizabeth Palladino, 67 years old of West Chester, PA passed away Friday December 2, 2022 at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
She was the wife of devoted husband Peter T. Palladino.
Born December 7, 1954 in Philadelphia, PA she was the daughter of the late Louis J. Camilli and the late Marie R. Trovato Camilli.
Diane grew up in South Philadelphia and graduated from Haddon Township High School in Westmont, NJ. She later raised her children in Chews Landing, NJ.
Diane Palladino was known as a force to be reckoned with. She was an exceptionally strong-minded person that always knew what she wanted and how to get it. Diane had a brilliant mind for art, food, music, and shore real estate. Her taste was unmatched, and she was inevitably able to find the best of everything for everyone. Her pride resided in her close friends and family, she found and spread joy in sharing food, a song, or some new story with all of them. Her legacy includes the thousands of children she helped raise as a teacher and founder of the first Gloucester Township latchkey program to support young kids. She was a matriarch to her family and her community and will surely be missed by all. She knew how to seize the day and live life to the fullest, which is how she would want everyone to live, carpe diem.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her sons, Peter J. Palladino (Kimberly) and Nicholas Palladino (Devorah); sister, Dr. Louis Camilli (Donna) nephew Dante Camilli, and Dr. Joseph Camilli (Susan) nieces Christen Camilli and Jenna Camilli; sister-in-law to Robert Palladino (Cindy) nephew Jesse Palladino and niece Stephanie Palladino; grandmother to Izabela Palladino and Sofia Palladino.
