Concetta “Connie” (Correale) Petrivelli
Family & friends are invited to a visitation in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Route 107) Revere on Monday, September 18th beginning at 9:00 a.m. for Concetta “Connie” (Correale) Petrivelli, who passed on Thursday, September 14th, at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, following a brief illness. Following the visitation, her funeral mass will be celebrated in the Immaculate Conception Church (Corner of Beach St. & Winthrop Ave.) REVERE at 11:00 a.m., immediately followed by interment in Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.
Born & raised in East Boston, she attended East Boston High School & immediately joined the work force in a host of sundry jobs. She retired in 1998 after 12 years of service from the Raytheon Corp., as an assembly worker. However, in reality, “Connie” never did retire from her favorite vocation in life, i.e. caring & playing hostess to not only her immediate family, but to all her friends and extended family. She loved and thoroughly enjoyed her ability to care and prepare her fine Italian cooking and baking. Even the office staff at the many doctor’s offices, she would visit, were the recipients of her especially great baked goods. She served as a poll worker at the Garfield School for many years and also began volunteering at the school, doing anything & everything, wherever, she was needed.
She is survived by her beloved & devoted husband of 58 years, Anthony “Sonny” Petrivelli. She is the cherished mother to Paula Tocco & her husband, Joseph of Naperville, Illinois & Erika Poste of Vero Beach, Florida. She is the adored grandmother to Kyle J. Bendavid of Naperville, Illinois, Brianna A. Poste of Winchester, New Hampshire, Anthony E. Poste & Eric Royce, both of Vero Beach, Florida. She was the dear sister to the late James “Glimpie” & Severino “Butchie” Correale. She is also lovingly survived by many nieces & nephews.
