Marie Ann (Defilippo) Tocco Catrone

Marie Ann Tocco Catrone, passed away on August 28, 2024, at the age of 82. Born on August 10, 1942, she was the youngest born to the late Joseph and Grace (Masello) DeFilippo. Marie was the matriarch of her family, a pillar of strength whose home was always filled with the smells of Italian food and homemade desserts.  Her house was the venue for holidays, Sunday dinner, and family gatherings, a testament to her dedication to her family.

Marie loved to spend her winters along side her husband Bob in sunny Florida, where family and friends would often visit and make wonderful memories. Over the years she also enjoyed traveling and playing the slots at various casinos. She had an unwavering affection for the many dogs she had throughout her life and today her lovable pups Rusty and Brandy who have been by her side for almost a decade.

She was the beloved wife of the late Robert “Bob” Catrone.  Loving mother of Laureen Tocco of Revere, Annmarie Tocco Cerundolo of Ipswich, Anthony Tocco of Charlestown, Paula Tocco Moreira and her husband John of Somerville, and Duane Tocco Sr. of Revere.  Dear sister of Lucy LeClair of Revere, and the late Anthony “Sonny” DeFilippo.  Cherished grandmother of Christopher Tocco, Lindsay Tocco, Jenna Tocco, Frederick Cerundolo, Isabelle Cerundolo, and Duane “DJ” Tocco Jr.  Adored niece of Mafalda “Muffy” Pascucci, and the late Flora DeFilippo.  Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.

Marie lived a life of love, generosity, and thoughtfulness, radiating a warmth that touched everyone she encountered. Her absence is deeply felt, but her spirit continues to live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
