Gina Moscone
May 2, 1931 - June 7, 2022
Family, friends and public officials are all grieving and fondly remembering former First Lady of San Francisco Gina Moscone, who died on June 7, 2022, at the age of 91. The cause was cancer.
Known for her elegant style, sharp eye and even sharper sense of humor, Gina also demonstrated extraordinary grace and strength in face of devastating personal and public tragedy.
She was married to Mayor George R. Moscone for 24 years, before he was assassinated in 1978. Gina remained the rock of the Moscone family for the remainder of her life while also playing a significant role in the political and artistic life of San Francisco.
Born Eugenia Marie Bondanza, Gina Moscone was raised in the Marina neighborhood of San Francisco. She graduated from St. Brigid's High School and on June 24, 1954, married fellow San Franciscan George Moscone, whom she helped put through law school by working various jobs.
Later, Gina worked as a staff member for Assemblyman Wille Brown when he became Speaker of the State Assembly in 1980.
A supporter of many politicians and of the arts throughout her life, Gina was a member of the San Francisco War Memorial Board of Trustees from 1980 to 2022.
Gina Moscone is survived by four children and their spouses, as well as five grandchildren and a great granddaughter.
Gina was preceded in death by her grandson, Owen Moscone, who also died of cancer.
