Family and friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Thursday, January 5th, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.in the Vertuccio & Smith Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rte. 107), REVERE for Frances M. (Haas) Kleinfeldt, who died on Saturday, December 31st, 2016 at her Beachmont residence. Although her health had been failing, her death was most unexpected. Her funeral will be held from the funeral home on Friday, January 6th at 9:00 a.m., followed by a funeral mass in the Immaculate Conception Church (Corner of Beach Street and Winthrop Avenue), REVERE at 10:00 a.m.

Frances was born in Winthrop, and lived all of her life in Beachmont, Revere, graduating in 1953 from Revere High School. A devoted Mom and Nanny first, she worked as a saleswoman for the Host Gift Shop at Logan Airport for over 25 years. She loved photographing every family celebration and making albums for each branch of the very large Haas clan. She also enjoyed bowling, Bingo, playing cards, collecting a variety of souvenirs from around the world, especially unique spoons, and entertaining her friends, relatives, and co-workers in her home.

She was the widow of the late Ronald Kleinfeldt. She is the devoted and much beloved mother to Katherine M. Kleinfeldt and Kim Kleinfeldt-Silva-Gidaris and her husband, John Gidaris, with whom she shared her house in Beachmont. Her love for and devotion to them has been returned with equal measure of love and care. She is the proud and cherished Nanny of Kirsten M. Silva and her husband, Matthew Walkey of Salisbury, Ma. She is the dear sister of Helen R. Haas and her husband, Leroy Sidman of Desert Hot Springs, CA; and the late Doris K. Simpson, Robert J. Haas Sr., Frederick Haas Jr., Henry Haas, Arthur Haas, Warren Haas, and Alice Dowd. She is also lovingly survived by her two childhood friends, Carol A. Tye of Revere and Mary Lou Hayes of Charlestown; many loving nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews, and neighbors who have treasured her companionship for years. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.

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.
