June 26, 1932 - July 31, 2024

Theresa M. Giordano, of Lancaster, passed away Wednesday, July 31, 2024, at Ephrata Manor. She was 92. Born in Lancaster on June 26, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Harry L.

Her love will live on with her son, Joseph Jr. and daughter-in-law Karen, as well as a granddaughter Kimberly, all of Millersville. She was preceded in passing by her parents, her husband Joseph, and brother, Harry L. Spidle, Jr.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 AM on Friday, August 9, 2024, at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster, PA 17603, with Father Lawrence Sherdel as Celebrant.
