Funerals, 773 Broadway (Route 107), Revere for Angelina S. (Dovidio) Vellucci, who died on Wednesday, July 8th at the Greenwood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center of Wakefield.

Born and raised in Somerville, she came to live in Revere over 75 years ago. For over 26 years, she worked as a cashier-clerk, for the former Clam Box of Revere. “Aunt Angie”, as she was affectionately known, not only to her nieces and nephews but to all of her large extended family, was a woman of faith and devotee to family. She was a member of the former Daughters of Italy (Giuseppe Mazzini Lodge- Revere) and a member of the Catholic Foresters of America, when they had a chapter in Revere.
She was the wife of the late Henry E. Vellucci, who died in July of 1987. She is the cherished mother of Marie A. Chiles-Mason and her husband Kenneth of Revere, Cosmo D. Vellucci and his wife Maureen of Malden, Patricia J. Carrasquillo and her late husband Juan and Anne C. Rodriguez and her husband Efrain “Fred”, all of Revere. She is also lovingly survived by her 8 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and her much anticipated first, great-great grandson. She was also the dear sister to the late Nino, Anthony, Frank, Orlandino “Lundy” Dovidio, Jessie DiLiegro, Tina Dovidio and Helen Lenci. Many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews also survive her.
“Aunt Angie” observed her 100th birthday on July 2nd, with a large and exciting party given by her family at the Wakefield facility, where she had resided for the past 5 years. Although death was anticipated because of her years, it came unexpectedly, only 6 days following her 100th birthday. Often when seniors are blessed with longevity, society seldom realizes or acknowledges the tremendous void that the family caregivers are faced with. Comfort comes in the solace of one’s faith and the maintenance of family celebrations.
