Janet S. DiCalogero

DiCalogero, Janet (Tirino) of Chelsea passed away on July 9, 2025, at the age of 81. Born in Everett on August 18, 1943, to the late Edward Tirino and Jennie (Bertuccio). Beloved wife of 54 years to John DiCalogero Jr.

Janet, a dedicated registered nurse, spent her life providing care and comfort to all. Her passion for her profession was second only to the love she had for her family. Janet was a woman who believed in the value of togetherness and the strength of familial bonds. She was a past member of the Calvary Christian Church in Lynnfield, where she served with humility and dedication. In her free time, Janet relished bowling, horseshoes where she was inducted into the Hall of Fame, and bocce, always eager to bring a touch of fun and competition into the mix. Janet was an avid Red Sox fan who didn't miss a game. Her love of the Red Sox is from childhood and was even blessed to catch a World Series game during their chase to the championship.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "I sustain myself with the love of family." This quote embodied Janet's life. Her family was her bedrock, her pride, and joy.

She was the devoted mother of John DiCalogero III and his wife Christina of Melrose, and Jill Florentino of Revere. Cherished grandmother of Sophia and Ella DiCalogero and Emma Florentino. Dear sister of the late Martha DiRienzo, Frances Myers, Alfonso Terino, and Tina DiCesare. Also survived by her loving brothers & sisters in laws, cousins, nieces and nephews. She was a loving, supportive mother, a dedicated nurse, and a friend to many, always extending a helping hand and a warm smile to those around her.
