Rachel T. (Cogliano) Rogers

A funeral mass was celebrated for Rachel T. (Cogliano) Rogers, in St. Anthony of Padua Church, Revere, followed by interment at Holy Cross Cemetery, Malden.  Mrs. Rogers passed after a lengthy illness at her daughter’s home in North Revere, with whom she made her home, on Thursday, May 12th, at 103 years.  Born in Boston on October 28th, 1912, she would have been 104 years old in October.  The family moved to Chelsea, where Mrs. Rogers attended school, and then later spent over 30 years in Everett, before moving to Revere in 1977.  Mrs. Rogers was widowed in January of 1954, leaving her as a single Mom.  She worked in her early years at Chelsea’s former “Everlastic” Company & then joined the work force at TRW Car Fasteners for over 20 years, retiring from there in 1977.  Always a worker and energetic woman, she soon tired of retirement & in 1987 rejoined the work force at Burger King of Chelsea, as a sale’s clerk.  She held the position until turning 83 years in 1995.  And that was only because of her family’s demand that she stop working.  She was indeed a member of “the greatest generation” and her daughter, son-in-law, & grandsons are true testimony.  She was the wife of the late, Arthur F. Rogers.  She was the adored & cherished Mother of, Marie T. “Terry” Sadowski & her husband, Samuel J. Sadowski of North Revere, with whom she made her home.  She is the cherished Grandmother of: Jeffrey J. Sadowski & his wife, Robyn of Salisbury, MA, & Christopher J. Sadowski of Revere.  She was the sister of the late: Maria DeFrancesco, Antonetta Woods, Assunta Finnegan, Domenic, Ralph, Nicholas, & John Cogliano.  She is also lovingly survived by many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces & grand-nephews.

Remembrances may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, P.O. Box 1000, Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38101-9908.

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.

God bless you all.
