Theresa Ciullo Gomber

Theresa was the 4* of nine children born to Albert and Virginia Ciullo in Kings Park, NY in 1958. The family moved to Winter Park in 1966. She attended St. Margaret Mary's Catholic School and Bishop Moore Catholic High School. Her large family was the most important thing in the world to her and growing up with her parents and 8 brothers and sisters are her most cherished memories. As the family grew, each new in-law, each new baby, brought her so much joy. She loved entertaining and cooking for all of them, the more the better. She was the happiest when her home was full and noisy, with her sisters crowded in her kitchen and adults and kids talking and laughing loudly. Never having children, she absolutely loved being an Aunt to her nieces and nephews and then their kids. She is so proud of all of them and wants them to know how much she loved them and how much they enriched her life. She was devoted to her dogs Princess, Mary and Millie and loved being their Mom. Theresa was Catholic and was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church. In 2012, either by fate, or by their mothers conspiring together in heaven, Theresa and Doug met. They married in 2015, and life was never the same again. She found the love that she never thought she would find and a life she never imagined she would have. They often said to each other "I wish I had met you sooner". Their two dogs, Mary and Millie were their kids, and they now had their own little family. Theresa worked in the Hospitality industry at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Universal Orlando, Palace Entertainment, Orange Lake Resorts and Merlin Entertainments. Her career began in 1976 in the Magic Kingdom as an hourly merchandise employee and she advanced to executive leadership positions within the industry. Her jobs required her to travel extensively but she always felt that the part of the job she loved the most was working with so many great teams throughout her career. She owned her own business, The Inflatable Fun Factory in Ocoee in 2009 and 2010. In 2018, Theresa was diagnosed with advanced Ovarian Cancer, and while she fought as hard as she could, God called her home on 10/16/25 She is survived by her husband and love, Doug Gomber, the best siblings in the world Al Ciullo (Maryanne), Claire Olds (Chuck), James Ciullo (Carrie), Kevin Ciullo (Beth), Marie Blackwell (Mike), Patrick Ciullo (Jean), Lily Denault (Paul), Carol Twomey (Dennis), the most wonderful nieces and nephews and her beloved cousins. Through her faith, Theresa knew that indescribable JOY awaited her in Heaven, and that she would be reunited with her Mom, Dad, family, Princess, Mary and Millie for all eternity.
