Each month, Tri Delta publishes In Memoriam, highlighting the lives of some of our Distinguished Deltas and longtime volunteers and sharing a full list of sisters who have recently passed away. Below is the In Memoriam for June 2025.
Gigi Ambrosio, Villanova
Tri Delta mourns the loss of collegian Gigi Ambrosio, Villanova. In high school, Gigi served as an ambassador for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Her Gamma Beta chapter sisters shared, “Gigi was such a light to everyone around her. She had one of the kindest hearts, which truly touched all of us. Gigi brought such immense joy, strength and bravery into each of our lives and was loved so deeply by our chapter.
“Gigi, we miss you more than words can describe.
“As we navigate this tragic loss, we are holding Gigi’s family, friends and the greater community in our hearts, sending love and strength during this difficult time.”
