Gina Palomo

In Loving Memory of Gina Palomo

Born in Valley Bend, West Virginia on February 21, 1944

Passed away peacefully on June 1, 2025

With deep sorrow and profound love, we announce the passing of a saintly woman, Gina Palomo on June 1, 2025. Born in the quiet beauty of Valley Bend, West Virginia, she lived a life of grace, devotion, and unwavering kindness. She was the beloved daughter of Joseph and Nellie Staud and is now reunited with them in eternal peace. She was also preceded in death by her dear sisters Rita, Joan, Kathryn, and Donna, whose memories she cherished deeply. She is lovingly remembered by her surviving siblings, Tom and Chris Staud, who will forever hold her memory close.

Gina was a devoted and loving wife to her husband, Joe Palomo. Their love was a true partnership, grounded in faith and mutual respect. She was the proud and caring mother of Jamie Wall and his wife Sofia, and a kind and generous stepmother to Jason Palomo and his wife Adena Burger, and to Gabriel Palomo and his wife Ju Palomo. Her life was further blessed by her cherished grandchildren—Valentina, Dov, Mylene, Maya, Sebastian, and Isabella—each of whom brought her immense joy and pride.

Gina was a dedicated federal civil servant for many years, having served at FBI Headquarters in Washington D.C. during a formative time in our nation’s history. Later in her career, she served at White Sands Missile Range where she met and married her husband, Joe Palomo. Gina and Joe both retired from White Sands after commuting together for many years and settled in their home in West El Paso.

A woman of deep faith, Gina was devoted to her church and served her community with humility, compassion, and a servant’s heart. Her gentle spirit, wisdom, and warmth touched all who knew her, and her legacy will live on in the lives she nurtured and inspired. Her family rejoices in the assurance that she has entered into eternal rest, held in the arms of her Savior.

A Visitation will be held  from 4:00pm to 8:00pm on Thursday, June 12, 2025 at Queen of Peace Catholic Church with a Holy Rosary to commence at 6:00pm.

May her soul rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing.
