Madeline was born in Revere but was raised & educated in East Boston and Boston Public Schools. She was an alumna of East Boston High School. After graduation, Madeline worked for several businesses in an administrative role. She later took a position for the Sylvania Co. & became familiar & knowledgeable about electronic assembly. She then went to work for the Gillette Corp. in the same area, a position she held for over 9 years. As she worked her way up the ladder, she landed a better job at Raytheon in Andover, as a Micro Electronic Assembler. She worked there for 20 years, retiring in 2002. Most of her working career, she worked side by side with her best friend & soul mate, Bea. When Madeline retired, it wasn’t to take long & exotic vacations, it was to care for her ailing dear mother. Madeline did everything for her mom and felt blessed that she was able to have the time to dedicate to her. Madeline had lived in many different cities & towns due to her jobs, but Revere was her home for over 14 years, until moving to Methuen 9 years ago. Madeline was known for her legendary cooking and she did it with love. She enjoyed preparing many meals for family & friends or just for her and Bea to enjoy. It gave her a great deal of pleasure; people loved her food. Later on, she would like to take trips to the Cape and always loved being at the beach. She enjoyed other vacations to Florida, South Carolina & the Bahamas. But of all places, home is where she was most content. She was known for her witty sense of humor and to share a joke, but her kind and wonderful heart is how she will be remembered.

She is the devoted daughter of the late Anthony & Adeline (Santilli) LoPresti. The loving life partner of Beatrice A. “Bea” Malisko of Methuen, formerly of Revere. Dear sister of Frances M. Marckini & her late husband Robert of Billerica, Frank LoPresti of East Boston, Anthony LoPresti & wife Gerrie & Robert LoPresti & his former wife Rose Lopresti, all of Winthrop. She is also lovingly survived & adored by many loving nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews & one great grandnephew.

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.
