Gloria (Masucci) Marotta

Gloria Marotta (Masucci), affectionately known to many as "Darlin,” passed away on July 18, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, family, and devotion. She was born in Boston, MA, on December 23, 1926, to the late Joseph Masucci and Marie (Fazio).

Gloria spent many years as a dedicated secretary in the insurance business. Yet it was her role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother that truly defined her. Gloria loved to cook; the aroma of the foods she prepared (especially her homemade meatballs!) frequently filled the air. She was loving, kind, giving, and good-natured. Her family was her greatest joy, her children and grandchildren the center of her universe.

Gloria is survived by her beloved daughters, Diane Santaniello and Jan Iascone; her son-in-law, Daniel Iascone; her grandsons, Alex Iascone and Frankie and Nicky Santaniello; her granddaughter-in-law, Jennifer Santaniello; her great-grandchildren, Hayden and Jackson Santaniello; her sister-in-law, Ines Simonelli; and her brother-in-law, Al DeFeo, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.  Gloria was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Salvatore Marotta; her cherished daughter, Donna Marie; her brothers, Alexander and Peter Masucci.

Gloria's legacy lives on in the hearts of those she loved.
