Family & friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Friday, Aug. 31 from 9 a.m. through 11:30 a.m. in the Vertuccio & Smith Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rt. 107), REVERE, followed by a Funeral Mass in the Immaculate Conception Church (corner of Beach St. & Winthrop Ave.), Revere, at 12 noon and immediately followed by interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.

Ginny was born in Boston’s West End and she was educated in Boston Public Schools. Later Ginny married Joseph P. Maniscalco and the couple settled in Medford before moving to Revere in 1961. Ginny was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister & friend and then great grandmother. Ginny had the unique pleasure of having six daughters. She had an unwavering faith and was an active member of the Immaculate Conception Parish in Revere. She and several of the ladies from Immaculate Parish formed their own little “Coffee Club”, where they would welcome anyone to join them. Her heart was dedicated to her family and it was obvious; she loved gatherings and parties and spending time with them. She moved to Woburn, after losing her husband Joe on December 7, 2000. She still maintained lifelong friendships that she made years ago.

She is the beloved wife of the late Joseph P. Maniscalco. Cherished mother of Diane M. Cottle & husband Frank of Woburn, Ann M. D’Ambrosio & husband Pasquale of Wakefield, Maria E. Ruiz & husband George of Woburn, Virginia M. “Ginny” Cantone & husband Philip of Revere, Carol Cantone & husband David of Rowley & Paula K. Coates of Billerica. She is also lovingly survived by 17 grandchildren & 9 great-grandchildren.

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.
