Dana Marie Gorgodian

Dana M. Gorgodian, 49, of Sewell, NJ passed away on September 2, 2026 after a lengthy illness.

Dana was a woman who loved deeply and gave freely. Her children were the center of her world, and there was nothing she treasured more than the love and memories she shared with them.

Known for her big heart and even bigger personality, she had a way of bringing life and laughter wherever she went. She was often the life of the party—always ready to have a good time, share a laugh, and make memories with the people she loved. Her joyful spirit and ability to brighten a room will be deeply missed.

She also had a passion for fashion and always enjoyed keeping up with the latest trends. She took pride in her appearance and had a natural sense of style that reflected her confidence and personality. Throughout her career as a hairdresser, she found joy in making others feel beautiful and confident. Her talent, creativity, and ability to connect with people made her work about so much more than hair—it was about making people feel special.

Dana is survived by her children, Brooklyn and Ethan; her parents, John and Betty Ann DiRidolfo; siblings Jason and his wife Jennifer, and Lisa Holding and her husband Herbert. Dana is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are invited to her visitation on Saturday, September 12th, 2026 from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM at Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church, 362 Ganttown Road, Washington Township, NJ 08012. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30AM at the church. Entombment will follow at All Saint’s Cemetery, Newfield, NJ.
