Janet Ruth (Greene) Di Minico, of Penndel, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was 79 years old. Born in Trenton, New Jersey on May 12, 1946, Janet was the beloved daughter of the late Robert and Irene (Koch) Greene. She was a proud graduate of Pius X High School in Roseto, PA, Class of 1964. Janet was married to the love of her life, the late Joseph Di Minico, for 33 wonderful years until his passing in 1999. Together, they built a family rooted in love, laughter, and faith. She is survived by her devoted children, Mindy Spadaccino and her husband Steven, and Joseph “Butch” Di Minico and his husband Rodney Carroll. Janet was the cherished grandmother of Steven Spadaccino Jr., Karsyn Chilutti and her husband Joseph, and Darcy Parkyn and her husband Tyler; and the adoring great-grandmother of Siena Chilutti and Aria Parkyn. She is also survived by her loving siblings Robert Greene, Thomas Greene, and Debra Krogulski, and was preceded in death by her sister, Patricia “PJ” Briar.
Janet was a devout Catholic and a faithful member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church. Her faith guided every part of her life and was a constant source of strength and comfort, especially through her daily rosaries, which she offered faithfully for those she loved. Fittingly, Janet passed peacefully on the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary, a day honoring the Blessed Mother to whom she held deep devotion. She lived independently for the last 26 years of her life, demonstrating remarkable strength and grace.
A talented and accomplished seamstress, Janet had a gift for creating beauty from the simplest things. Whether sewing clothes for her family or crafting something wonderful out of nothing, her hands and heart were always making life more special. Her craftsmanship and creativity were matched only by her generosity and warmth.
Janet’s greatest joy was her family. She adored her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even her beloved “grand puppies.” She was immensely proud of all their accomplishments and was there for every moment, big or small, with devoted love and thoughtfulness. Her happiness was rooted in the well-being of those she loved, and she made each day feel special simply by being there. She put others before herself, not out of obligation, but because caring was second nature to her. Even when told to rest or not to fuss, she would quietly do the opposite, always finding one more way to help, to give, or to show love.
Janet will be remembered for her selfless spirit, kindness, devotion, and unwavering love for her family. She had a talent for making others feel special, often through her thoughtful surprises and perfectly chosen gifts, given just because she was thinking of you. Alongside her generous heart was a sharp, playful sense of humor that kept everyone laughing and brought lightness to even the most ordinary days.
Her legacy of compassion and faith will live on in all who knew her. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Queen of the Universe Catholic Church 2443 Trenton Road, Levittown, PA 19056 on Thursday, October 16 where friends will be received starting at 5:00 PM followed by Mass at 6:00 PM. Following the service, all are invited to join the family for a dinner and celebration of Janet’s life. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Janet’s name to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. http://www.stjude.org
