She was a seamstress by trade and had a long career with the former Picarello & Singer Ladies’ Apparel Wear Inc. of East Boston. Mary led a most busy life, caring for her husband, three children, and anyone else who was in need of care. A simple woman of Grace & God, she was more than content with the joy of being a mother and a grandmother. She was a long-time devotee of St. Anthony’s Parish of Revere and was a member of the former Ladies’ Sodality & the Anthonian Club. She enjoyed the art of cooking, especially for close family & extended family. Her beloved husband, Domenic passed on January 29, 1996.

    Our greatest sympathy to all the Buonadonnas during this time.
    Lou- unfortunately I am unable to attend this Wednesday but I know Sharon will and I hope Emily. I hope we can get together later this summer and raise a toast to your mom- a terrific family she started.

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.
