Meryl Phyllis Dreano

Meryl Phyllis Dreano passed on September 5, 2026. She was born on June 20, 1963 to David L. and Rose Newman in Arizona. She is preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Dreano.

She is survived by her sons, Joshua D. Dreano and Jordan M. Dreano; as well as two sisters, a handful of nieces and nephewies, cosuins and other family members from coast to coast, and of course, her lifelong friends and co-workers, all who she valued very much,

Meryl was a mother, a sister, and a friend - blood and wine to her core. She found happiness and a great challenge with the same company for the past twenty years through various roles but truly cherished the past few years that she spent working with her team and their attorneys. She enjoyed being near the water or beach in any way possible, Philadelphia sports especially the Eagles (go birds!) and always trying new foods and keeping up with Josh and Jordan's passions, projects, and careers - Her entire world revolved around them.

From Josh and Jordan - We'll be alright; she raised us well enough that we'll figure it out. While we appreciate the efforts for food and flowers, the fridge and the table can only hold so much; If so inclined, we would rather you donate to her and Josh's favorite charity "Life Rolls On" or a local heart hospital or animal shelter. We will be hosting a memorial, somewhere in Virginia Beach, most likely on October 17th, 2026, at sundown - Jordan will provide more details for those who would like to attend and travel in within the coming week. We appreciate everyone's love and support on her sixty-three-year journey - she IS truly loved.
