Edith Eleanor Tulumello

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Edith Eleanor Tulumello, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who left us on March 23, 2025, at the age of 95. Born on July 30, 1929, in Malvern, Pennsylvania, Edith lived a life rich in love, dedication, and achievement.
Edith devoted herself to her family, serving as a nurturing mother to her son, Michael Tulumello (Jeanne Barrett) of Oakland, MI; and her daughter, Linda Dillon of North East, MD. She fully enjoyed being a grandmother to Jamie Tulumello of Chesham, England and Ryan Tulumello of North East, MD, and great-grandmother to Madison Drew and Sylvie Drew, with boundless affection. As the matriarch of her family, she instilled strong values and shared countless moments of joy, laughter, and wisdom that will forever be cherished by those she leaves behind, including her brother, Vincent Coletta (Sandy) of San Diego, CA and Karen McCauley, mother of Jamie and Ryan.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Sal Tulumello, parents, Michael and Ernestina (Amore) Coletta, and brother, Patrick Coletta.
Professionally, Edith excelled in the banking industry, achieving the prominent position of Vice President of Meridian Bank (formerly of Kennett Square, PA), where she garnered respect and admiration for her leadership and commitment to excellence. She was also active in the Kennett Square Chamber of Commerce and was elected to serve a term as its President, where she took pride in contributing to the growth and prosperity of the local business community.
Edith's spirit of generosity and unwavering support touched countless lives, and her legacy will endure in the hearts of all who knew her.
