Marie D. (Badolato) Aloisi
Family & friends are respectfully invited to attend Visiting Hours on Wednesday, July 6th from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rt. 107) Revere for Marie D. (Badolato) Aloisi, who died on Wednesday, June 29th at the Kaplan Family Hospice in Danvers following a most courageous battle with cancer, she was 75 years old. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated in St. Anthony of Padua Church, 250 Revere St., Revere at 12:00 p.m., followed with interment in Puritan Lawn Memorial Park, Peabody.
Marie was born in Boston and was raised & educated in Revere, until high school. She was an alumna of St. Rose High School, Class of 1965. Marie later went onto Bryant & Stratton, Secretarial School. Marie first became a hairdresser early on in her working career. She worked for herself and built up quite a clientele, mainly due to her incredible personality. She was married to her husband, Joseph on April 18th, 1970. The couple remained in Revere where they raised their two children. In 1997, the couple moved to Salem, where she remained. Marie later became a Travel Agent and worked for many years before she decided to go out on her own. She opened Metro West Cruises and successfully owned & operated her own business for 20 years. Marie was also a licensed Realtor and worked diligently assisting people in buying & selling homes. During these years, Marie was diagnosed with cancer, and like many, needed to begin using a wig. Marie went into the wig shop at Beth Israel in Boston, and was told that unfortunately, her insurance did not cover the cost of a wig. As she was going through this struggle, it infuriated her, not because of her situation, but what about all of the other women who would not be able to purchase a wig due to their insurance, as well. Marie began to host fundraisers for “Windows for Hope” and began to raise money to benefit other women. This began as a small gesture to help a few women, but Marie created such fundraisers that allowed her to help over 2,000 women get their own wigs. Marie’s selflessness, determination & strong will made a difference in all these woman’s lives. She was truly an inspiration & an example of what it means to make a difference.
She is the beloved wife of 52 years to Joseph A. Aloisi of Salem. Loving mother of Gina M. DeSisto & her husband Darren J. of Revere & Mark J. Aloisi of Boynton Beach, FL. She is the cherished grandmother of Matthew J., Emily M., Ryan A. & the late Andrew J. She is the dear sister of Susan R. DeMarco & her husband Ralph of Derry, NH & the late Joseph Badolato. She is also lovingly survived by many nieces, nephews, grandnieces & grandnephews. She is a late board member of the Highland Condominium Association in Salem.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Windows of Hope – BIDMC, 330 Brookline Ave., Shapiro 9, Boston, MA 02215.

I am thinking of you all and sending loving thoughts your way. I remember endless visits when I was growing up. My Auntie Janet (Hickey) would always bring me to visit. My fondest memories from my childhood were spent at your house. Marie, you will be missed by so many. Joe, Gina and Mark it has been so long since I have seen you all, but my heart is with you at this difficult time.
With Love,
Dina Marie (Zimbone) Pinkham

Joe and Family…My thoughts and prayers are with you. Marie was the pillar of your family and she will be missed. I often thought of her over
the last few years and really missed her wonderful smile and laugh.
She paid her dues here on earth and now has gone on to greater rewards and peace. She was well deserved of it. With her passing you will experience grief but along with it come the everlasting memories of a life well lived. God bless you all. XO
Marie was our friend…we loved her so much. I went to high school with her, and lost touch after; but we reconnected some 20 years ago. Over the last 20 years, Marie and the girls from St Rose enjoyed getting together for luncheons and other terrific fun times. Joe and she and Mike and I loved to go out to dinner. She was an incredibly kind and loving person. It was a joy to be in her. I Mike and I are thinking of you, jJoe, Mark and Gina and the family at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you
I am so very sad to see of Marie’s passing. We first met at Solari’s Hairdressing School in Malden Square. We became fast friends. Fast forward 30 some odd years and we ran into each other at Companions Restaurant in Revere. We were so surprised and happy to run into each other again. Marie was such a wonderful hard working inspirational soul. We would bump into each other at various places in Revere and would always pick up where we left off. My sincere condolences to Marie’s family. I know she was the heartbeat of your life and I hope you are surrounded with nothing but fond memories. Rest In Peace Marie….xoxo
Dear Gina, Mark and Joe, My prayers and thoughts are with you. I know how much you will miss her. She was a fighter who loved life just like her brother Joe. I have many fond memories of her hospitality, warmth and sense of humor. Thinking of you all, Mignon
Mrs Aloisi was a wonderfully vibrant, funny and courageous woman.
She was always good to all of us when we would hang out in Revere.
She was willing to help out other women who were facing cancer.
Gina, I can’t express my sorrow.
