Jeannette C. (Chiampa) Hosker

Family & friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Thursday, May 31st from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., in the Vertuccio and Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rt. 107) Revere for Jeannette C. (Chiampa) Hosker, who died on Sunday, May 27th at the Lighthouse Nursing Care center following a long illness. She was 91 years old. A funeral will be conducted from the funeral home on Friday, June 1st at 10:00 a.m.., followed by a funeral mass at 11:00 a.m. in St. Anthony of Padua Church, 250 Revere St., Revere. Interment will be Private.

Jeannette was born and raised in East Boston and she is an alumnus of East Boston High School, Class of 1944. After graduation, Jennette began a 12-year career as a Sales Clerk at Filene’s in downtown Boston. She left Filene’s in 1961. Most of her early years were lived in East Boston. She moved to Exeter, New Hampshire in 1976, remaining there until December 1980, when she moved to Revere & lived here until her passing. A classic example of the ancient adage; “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” was Jeannette’s proverb to live by. Anyone knowing her or having had the honor of being a guest at her home, certainly can attest to her spotless and meticulous care that she gave her home. And in her regard to her “Godliness”… she was a woman of faith & grace. Most proud to be a practicing Roman Catholic, she thoroughly enjoyed her faithful association with her child-parish, St. Mary-Star of the Sea Church of East Boston & then, in later years, her membership at the St. Anthony of Padua Community Parish of Revere. However, first & foremost, Jeannette was a “Family Woman” & nothing gave her more joy than the company of her family & extended family. As she became somewhat in need of assistance, her genuine sense of humor & depth of her personality came to light.

She is the devoted wife of the late Richard W. Hosker. Loving mother of Warren A. Hosker & his fiancé Susan C. Hagen of Beverly & Wendianne Ferullo & her husband William R., Jr. of Peabody. Cherished grandmother of Christopher R. “C.J.” Alimonti & Aj’a C. Alimonti, both of Peabody. She was also the proud & devoted daughter of the late Anthony & Marion (Russo) Chiampa. Dear sister of the late Roger R. Chiampa & Roseanne M. Stringi. She is also lovingly survived by Sharon L. Salvucci & family of Danvers and by several nieces, nephews, grandnieces & grandnephews and loving cousins.

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.
