Gianna Renee Negron, 19, of West Grove, died on Sunday, Nov. 16, at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Wilmington.
“G” was a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew her. A student at DCCC, she was not only a dedicated learner but also a brave warrior who faced her battle with cancer for the second time with remarkable courage and grace. Despite her struggles, she always managed to greet the world with a smile that could brighten even the darkest days.
She was a kind, strong, compassionate young woman. Gianna was a firm believer in finding enjoyment in the simple pleasures of life. Her love for life was evident in her many passions. “G” enjoyed building LEGO’s, reading, gaming, dancing, listening to music, spending time with her family, cuddling up with her nine cats, and sharing lots of laughs with her close cousins.
Gianna’s kindness, humor, and warmth touched the hearts of many. She inspired everyone around her with her bravery and resilience, leaving an indelible mark on their lives. To know Gianna was to love her, and she will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to have her in their lives.
Gianna is survived by her mother, Shawna Best (Kevin), and her father, Jose Negron (Dana); her sisters, Ariana Washington and Lilianna Negron; her Grandparents, Carolyn Best (Cody), Michael Best, Luz Davila, and Jose Negron Sr.
Family and friends will gather to celebrate and honor the life of “G”, with music, love, and laughter on Tuesday, November 25th, 2025, at The Christian Life Center, 125 Saginaw Road, Lincoln University, from 10 -11 a.m., and a ceremony service will follow at 11. Interment will be held privately.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory may be made to the Gianna Negron Family Support Fundraiser.
