Andrea E. Vatalaro

Family & friends are invited to attend a Memorial Mass on Saturday, March 9th at 11:00 a.m. in St. Anthony of Padua Church, 250 Revere St., Revere for Andrea E. Vatalaro, who passed most unexpectedly on Saturday, February 23rd at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital, following a brief illness.
Born in Boston, she spent her early years in the Malden-Everett area, and graduated in 1991 from Malden High School. Almost all of Andrea’s working career was spent in the banking business. Since 1999, Andrea, found a home at the East Cambridge Savings Bank of Cambridge. The administration at East Cambridge Savings Bank realized the “diamond in the rough” that presented herself there and encouraged her work ethic and saw to it that it be rewarded with executive placement. As a loan officer, she was most sought after because of her abundant patience with customers and their families. Her loss will be realized and mourned for a very long time. Although she was most young at 46 years, she took the role as “Matriarch” of her family, giving her dear mom, Kay, a respite from the many years that Kay had the lead. Andrea also followed her mom in her footsteps as a dedicated volunteer at the Boston Higashi School of Randolph. The Higashi School was founded in 1987 to help children & young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder reach their full potential through the methodology of Daily Life Therapy.
Andrea is the devoted mother to Khyle A. Hope & Tristian X. Hope, both of Everett. Andrea is survived by her faithful companion of 32 years, Jason C. Ward of Everett. She was the proud daughter to the late Joseph Vatalaro & Kay F. (Prebensen) Carroll. She is the dear sister to Esther M. Vatalaro of Winthrop, Maryellen Vatalaro of Everett, Paul Vatalaro of South Carolina & the late Wendy M. Strauss & Alan J. Vatalaro. She is also lovingly survived by her Aunt, Eileen T. Prebensen of Illinois, many nieces, nephews and cousins. Visiting hours are respectfully omitted and interment is private.
