Maria L. (Palumbo) McMahon

Funeral Services were held privately for Maria Lisa (Palumbo) McMahon who passed away on June 29th, at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, following a long and courageous battle with overwhelming illness. She was 57 years of age.

Born and raised in Wakefield, she was an alumna of Wakefield High School. She continued her education and attended University of Massachusetts – Amherst earning her bachelor’s degree in Biology. Maria worked for many years with the M.W.R.A on Deer Island as a Lab Technician. She and her husband, Brian J. McMahon, were married in 2006 and together made their home in Revere. Maria was a strong woman and although she faced many battles with her illness over the years, she never gave up and always fought with all she had.

Maria had a deep affection for animals, loved music, and was a kind and devoted friend.  Her lifelong friends will be forever grateful for her presence in their lives.

She is the beloved wife of Brian J. McMahon of Revere & the dear sister to Kathy Palumbo & her wife, Patty Jackson of Salisbury. Devoted daughter of the late Robert E. & Mary K. (Fox) Palumbo.  A celebration of her life will take place on the Cape later this fall. Donations in her memory may be made to the Harwich Conservation Trust by visiting www.harwichconservationtrust.org.

    I just learned of Maria’s passing and wanted to send my condolences. We went to high school together and while we hung out with different groups, she was always friendly and sweet. God Bless her and her family and friends.

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.
