Family & friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Monday, May 20th, 2013 from 4 – 8 p.m. in the Vertuccio & Smith Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Route 107), Revere, for Jeannette (Connors) Foley, who died on Friday, May 17th at the Lighthouse Nursing Care Center of Revere, following a long illness, at 91 years.  Her funeral will be conducted from the funeral home on Tuesday, May 21st at 9 a.m., followed by a funeral mass in St. Anthony of Padua Church, 250 Revere St., Revere, at 10 a.m., followed by interment in Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.  Born & raised in Oak Island, Revere, she was a 1939 alumna of Revere High School.  She & her family were life-long supporters & devotees of the former St. Theresa Church of Revere.  She spent over 30 years in the employ of the Revere School System as their Financial Secretary.  Although Jeannette & her late husband, Jeremiah A. Foley, considered themselves life-long residents of Revere, they lived in Haverhill for over 25 years in the fifties & sixties because of Jerry’s employment with John Hancock Life Insurance.  “Jerry” died in September of 1980.  Both Jeannette & her sister, Marie “ReRe,” will long be remembered for their infamous daily walks on Revere Beach Boulevard.  For over 20 years “The Sisters” would begin their walk at 8:30 a.m. from their home on Cary Ave., & make the total 4-mile walk daily.  You could not help but notice the “Duo:” their perfectly coiffured hair, the “Vogue” outfits, & all the accessories that made them unique & elegant.  This continued well into Jeannette’s middle-eighties, when her health began to decline.  Jeannette was a devout Catholic, attended mass regularly, & often maintained a beautiful home, was an avid reader, an interesting conversationalist & especially was dedicated & devoted to her entire family & their needs.  She is the devoted mother of Karen M. Epler & her husband, Grant O. Epler, of Lynnfield.  She is the dear sister of Marie H. “ReRe” (Connors) Capodilupo & her husband Justin P. of Revere, & the late Thomas D. Connors & the late Jacqueline V. “Jackie” Grenda.  She is the Cherished grandmother of Scott A. Epler & his wife Maryalice of Biddeford, ME, Danielle M. Junkins & her husband Todd of East Bridgewater, & the late Grant P. Epler.  She is also lovingly survived by her great-granddaughters, Sara M. & Kacy N. Junkins, her sister-in-law Rose Connors of Lynn, many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces & grand-nephews.  Jeannette was predeceased by her niece, Jean M. Maguire & her brother-in-law, Frank M. Grenda.  In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Lighthouse Nursing Care Center, 204 Proctor Ave., Revere, MA 02151, ATTN: Patients’ Activities Fund.

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.
