Gina Lopes

September 15, 1959 - August 15, 2021

Gina Lopes, 61, of Montross, VA went to heaven on Sunday, August 15, 2021. Gina was the first of three children born to Joseph and Caroline Interlandi in Washington, DC. After graduating from Regina High School in Adelphi, Maryland, she married the love of her life, Dorian Lopes, on September 23, 1978. They lived in Silver Spring, MD for a short time before moving to Potomac Heights in Charles County, Maryland where they became active members and were baptized at Potomac Heights Baptist Church. They raised three wonderful children to love the Lord, Jennifer, Jessica and John. Although working outside the home for a short time, she loved and excelled at being a stay-at-home mom. She enjoyed attending her childrens' sporting events (softball, field hockey, baseball, and wrestling) and taking the kids to Baltimore Orioles baseball games at Camden Yards. After their children were grown, she loved taking cruises with Dorian all over the Caribbean, New England, Hawaii, and Alaska. Her greatest joy was her involvement in her grandchildrens' lives. She cherished the moments when she could be with her grandchildren, attending hockey games, soccer games and traveling wherever she needed to go to see them. Her immense love and support she poured out on her family showed in the love they gave back to her.
