Josephine "Jody" Audrey Culmone Harvey

At just 64 years young, Jody Culmone has left our world and a massive void in our hearts.

Born in New Jersey to the late Jockey Joe and Rosemarie “Cookie” Culmone,  Jody moved to Maryland and built a beautiful home and family. She graduated from The University of Maryland and was a devoted AOPi sorority sister.

Jody is survived by her incredibly grateful children, Anthony Harvey (his girlfriend Raisa Magro) and Margaret Prus; her adoring grandson Cyrus; her loving siblings: Laura, Debbie, and Cheri Culmone and Don Yaquinta; dear nephews, Kevin Zane and Kyle Yaquinta; Step-son Zachary Gallagher; aunts, uncles, and dozens of cousins, family, and friends both home and abroad, too many to name, but never too far from our hearts. 

Our only solace is that Jody is now reunited in heaven with her parents and siblings, Joey Culmone Jr and Joanne (née Culmone) Favoretto. We imagine a great card game is taking place. 

Jody was always quick to open her home and especially her kitchen to all; she was happiest hosting her son’s friends, teammates, and peers. She was seen as a “Second Mother” to them and always treated them like her own children. Jody’s life revolved around family and friends whom she cared so deeply about. She made lifelong friends in MD and still connected with her friends from early childhood. In addition to spending time with family and friends, she enjoyed going to the beach and tanning by the pool.

Jody was one of the hardest-working and most sincere individuals, as evident by the many people she has connected with through the years. Whether working as a Regional Manager for IQVIA or as a Team Mom helping out in the snack shack, Jody always ensured that she helped others in any way possible.

Jody will be missed immensely and will forever live in our hearts.  

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to help Jody continue to support her grandson by donating to his college fund.

Please make checks payable to 'Margaret Prus-Simpson' and send in care of the funeral home; Donaldson Funeral Home, P.A., 313 Talbott Avenue, Laurel, MD 20707.
