Corie Spadaro

In Loving Memory of Corie Alexandria Spadaro

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Corie Alexandria Spadaro on May 6, 2025, at the age of 41.

Born in Boston and raised in Malden, Massachusetts, Corie’s life was a testament to resilience, perseverance, and quiet strength. From an early age, she faced challenges that could have broken many, yet she met each with unwavering courage and a steadfast spirit that inspired those around her.

A graduate of Malden High School, Corie pursued higher education with determination, earning a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She went on to complete a Master of Health Administration, focusing on Healthcare Management—a reflection of her deep commitment to serving others.

Throughout her life, Corie encountered obstacles that might have overwhelmed others. Though she did not always have the support system many take for granted, she drew strength from within and from the love of those who stood by her. Time and again, she rose, rebuilt, and forged new paths forward, refusing to let hardship define her.

Corie built a distinguished career in healthcare administration, making valuable contributions at Tufts University, St. Joseph’s Healthcare, and Steward Health Care Network. Most recently, she worked as a data analyst for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, where her intelligence, integrity, and dedication to public service helped support communities across the Commonwealth.

Beyond titles and accomplishments, Corie’s true strength lay in how she lived—with quiet dignity and steadfast resolve. She did not seek recognition; she simply showed up and did the hard work of building a life grounded in values and inner strength.

She is lovingly survived by her mother, Toni Marsinelli; her sisters, Alison Spadaro and Samantha Spadaro; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, friends, and colleagues who cherished her deeply.

She was predeceased by her father, Alan Spadaro, and her grandparents, John and Sylvia Spadaro, and Herbie and Carmella Marsinelli.

A memorial service to celebrate Corie’s life will be held on Saturday, May 31, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Buonfiglio Funeral Home, 128 Revere Street, Revere, Massachusetts. All are welcome to attend.

In the words of Emily Dickinson,

“Hope” is the thing with feathers – That perches in the soul – And sings the tune without the words – And never stops – at all –

Corie’s life was a quiet song of hope, courage, and resilience that will continue to inspire all who knew her.
