She later took a position at Transatron located in East Boston as an assembler where she worked until she was married. At that time, Celia was a proud, dedicated housewife & mother. She enjoyed being a homemaker and she was the essence of being a Mom. Her love & devotion for her family was the most meaningful part of her life. She always enjoyed & looked forward to spending time with them. Celia had a group of friends that she would enjoy the day with at Suffolk Downs Racetrack. She would enjoy many laughs & luncheons there while it was in operation. Celia also enjoyed shopping for anything & everything and going out for a wonderful dinner with her friends & family. Her humble life was prioritized by faith, family & fun.

She is the devoted wife of 46 years to the late Joseph J. Janiak, Jr., who died on July 1st, 2010. Loving & caring mother of Roy P. Olszewski & Kimberly A. Silveira, both of Revere.

    The nick name “Dolly” totally reflects who my aunt was.
    As a child I especially enjoyed singing “ Pennies From Heaven” with her. She always made you feel loved. ❤️

Send your condolences.

To all our families, friends, and residents of Revere, East Boston, and surrounding communities of the North Shore,

We would like to announce that after 37 years of caring for thousands of families at our 773 Broadway location, on January 31st, 2023 we will be officially RELOCATING, to our new location at 262 Beach St., Revere.
On September 30th, 2022, we proudly purchased the Vazza “Beechwood” Funeral Home – DiPietro and Vazza, Inc. A name that has served families for 102 years. We feel blessed that with all of the interest, the Vazza Family chose us to carry on their century old business and family name. We will become Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals. We will continue to honor the Vazza name and continue our commitment the same way that we always have. We also look forward to having both Louis Vazza and Jessica Vazza Ferragamo alongside of us, as we come together as one.
Our reputation has always been our biggest asset. For many years people always wanted us to have a larger facility, now our facility is the largest funeral home in the area. We will be making many beautiful upgrades to allow our families to have the most elegant facility to honor their loved one.
Although this announcement is bittersweet, as we say goodbye to our home, we are forever grateful for all of you for placing your constant faith and trust in us to care for your loved one. We will continue to do what we are best known for.
Thank you for your friendship and continued support.
God bless you all.
Faithfully,

Your friends at Vertuccio Smith and Vazza.
