Diana Annunziata

Diana Annunziata, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and pillar of faith, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025, leaving a legacy of love, compassion, and generosity that will continue to inspire all who knew her. Born on June 17, 1939, to Louis and Laura Alfieri in Boston's North End, Diana embraced life with spirited enthusiasm and a heart full of love. Her presence was a source of joy and comfort for all.

Diana was the devoted wife of Frank Annunziata, with whom she shared 63 years of marriage and 68 years together. She was the proud and loving mother of Karen Annunziata, Frank Annunziata III, and Therese Annunziata, all of Revere. Cherished grandmother of Bianca Buonfiglio and her husband Paul, Alexa Annunziata, Jake DeAngelo, Gia Santaniello, Austin Annunziata, and Frankie Annunziata; and loving great-grandmother of Roman, Lorenzo, and Vincent Buonfiglio. Dear sister of Lorna and Lois, and predeceased by her mother Laura Alfieri and sisters Suzanne and Lolly. She is also survived by her godson Paul O’Keefe, along with many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Diana was a woman of many passions. She delighted in the time spent with her adored grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her endless joy. She loved playing cards with her friends, often followed by memorable trips to the casino, and she was known for her fondness for shopping on QVC — especially for skincare products. Her radiant smile and youthful spirit reflected her belief in taking care of oneself.

A beacon of faith, Diana never missed a Sunday Mass and often credited her strength and resilience to her deep devotion to God. She spent her life in Massachusetts, born and raised in Boston’s North End before settling in Revere, where she and Frank built their family and life together.

Her legacy is one of love, faith, and family — the three pillars that defined her existence. Diana’s memory will live on in the hearts of her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all who were blessed to know her.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at St. Anthony’s Church in Revere. Please meet directly at the church. Interment will follow at Woodlawn Cemetery.
