Gloria Iorio

June 23, 2020

Born in Manhattan in 1923, Gloria "Nina" Iorio (nee Dallorso) lived the vibrant life of a New York City single working girl in the offices of the famous Times Square restaurant, Toffenetti's, just a subway ride away from her apartment on East 59th Street. In 1965, she met and married the love of her life, the late Amedeo "Al" Iorio and moved to the quiet beauty of Cresskill, New Jersey with her new husband and her stepson, the late Candido "Ken" Iorio. She loved poetry and the dance music of the big band forties and fifties. She never lost her zest for life nor her New York City attitude. She is survived by her loving nieces, Denise Grasing and Paula Dallorso and her devoted daughter-in-law, Judy Iorio. She also leaves behind her dear granddaughter, Tara Iorio and her much loved great-granddaughter, Madilyn Iorio-Herkert. Also surviving are her nieces, Christina Dallorso-Kortz, Deborah Dallorso, Patricia Dallorso, Lucy Yardly and her nephew, Leonard Bernard and her sister-in-law, Norma Ferraro. Many great-nephews and nieces, as well as great-great-nieces survive her long life. In lieu of flowers, donations to Heifer International at heifer.org/donate would be greatly appreciated.
