Alberta Marie Connor

Connor, Alberta (Guardino) of Revere passed away on July 6, 2025, at the age of 93. Born in Revere on August 10, 1931, to the late Leo and Margaret (Williams). Alberta was a remarkable woman who exuded an infectious zest for life. Her radiant smile and warm presence drew people from all walks of life, making her a true social butterfly.

Alberta was blessed with a divine voice and utilized her talent as a soloist at St. Anthony's Church in Revere for many years. Her passionate renditions of operatic arias were a testimony to her deep love for music and a source of solace for many. Beyond her musical endeavors, Alberta was a devoted homemaker who filled her home with warmth and affection. Her love for knitting was a testament to her patience and creativity, her intricate designs reflecting her attention to detail and love for all things beautiful. "In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures," said Kahlil Gibran, and Alberta epitomized this sentiment as she loved life and its many pleasures, including spending twenty glorious years in Florida, where she indulged her love for the beach.

Alberta was a strong-minded woman who faced life's challenges with courage and grace. Her resilience and strength were a beacon of inspiration for all who knew her. She was a devoted mother to Edward Castaldo and his wife Karen of Everett, Linda Zullo of W. Peabody, and Lawrence Castaldo and his wife Helen of NH. Adored grandmother of Anthony DiMascio, Giuliana Formisano, and Jillian Castaldo. Cherished great grandmother of Giuseppe and Amelia DiMascio, and Lucia and Vincenza Formisano.
