Dorothy N. (Algeni) Pelosi

Family & friends are invited to attend a Memorial Mass on Saturday, September 12th at 12:00 p.m. in St. Anthony of Padua Church, Revere for Dorothy N. (Algeni) Pelosi, who passed following a brief illness on March 29th, 2020 at the Lighthouse Nursing Center of Revere.

Born, raised & schooled here in Revere, she remained here until her passing. She was an alumna of Revere High School, Class of 1941. A woman of many talents, she was a gifted home decorator, maintaining her beautiful home on Proctor Ave. until failing health made the decision for her & her caring family, to enter assisted living. During her lifetime, the family remember her for her exquisite taste in couture clothing & accessories. Although Dorothy & her late husband, Cosmo A. Pelosi, who passed on August 15, 1997, were childless, their young nieces, nephews & cousins, became their surrogate families. They were passionate & loving for the success of their surrogate families accomplished with generosity & hands on care. “Auntie Dot” will long be remembered for her genuine sense of “quiet dignity” & certainly is recorded as a “Catholic Woman of Grace & Charity”.

She was the beloved daughter of the late Ella (Longo) & Ralph Algeni. She is the dear sister of the late Ralph J. Algeni, Jr. & his late wife Jenny, the late Donald P. & his wife late Patricia & Richard C. & his wife Beverly of Keene, NH. She is also survived by her faithful caregivers, Gerald A. “Jay” Battista & his late wife Margaret M. “Peggy” of Revere & Elaina O’Neil & her husband, William J. O’Neil of Revere. Many other nieces, nephews & cousins also survive Dorothy.

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.
