On Wednesday, October 2, 2019, Virginia Pistillo, beloved and devoted mom, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away at the age of 49.
Virginia was born on November 3, 1969, in the Bronx, NY to Larry Pistillo and Elizabeth (Corsetti) Mastromarino. She received her bachelor's degree from Iona College in 1992. She most recently worked for Aflac in IT security and risk management. Virginia has two sons, Matthew, 15, and Christopher, 13.
If you knew her, you loved her. Virginia had a kind and gentle heart. She cared deeply for so many people—even strangers. She would do anything for anyone. Virginia was supportive, encouraged dreams, and always saw the good in the world. Virginia had many gifts to share with everyone. She was always smiling and laughing loudly. Virginia was truly beautiful inside and out. She held a special place in the hearts of all who knew her. Her passing is such an incredible loss, but Virginia was so full of life that we know her vibrant, beautiful spirit will live on. It was her wish that in death she give life through organ donation, and she was able to save the lives of five people—an amazing and admirable final gift.
Her sons, Matthew and Christopher, describe her as a rainbow in the sky, gleaming in the foggy daylight, it just wants to make you cry. A true beauty that fell from heaven. She is one-of-a-kind. She has soft and strawberry smelling skin. She is a helping soul to everyone big and small.
Her mom says “Virginia is my morning sunshine. I could not have asked for a better child. Virginia’s love of life was extensive and touched many people through her kindness. May God bless my girl, we will miss her so much.”
Virginia was preceded in death by her grandparents, Ann, Daniel, Pat, and Virginia. She is survived by her two children, Matthew and Christopher Thigpen, her mother Elizabeth and stepfather Daniel Mastromarino, her father Larry and stepmother Maria Pistillo, her siblings Danny and Tricia (Beckerman) Pistillo, Michael Mastromarino, Kristofer Pistillo, Danielle (Mastromarino) and Jason Bucci, Tiana Pistillo, and Malissa (Pistillo) and Kyriakos Barbagianis, her nieces Marissa and Ryan, and nephews Andrew, Anson, and Richard, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
