Sally Patricia Malfitano

Malfitano, Sally (Foley) of Newburyport formerly of Revere passed away on January 30, 2025, at the age of 92. Born in Revere on May 21, 1932, to the late George Foley and Gertrude (Sears). 

Sally graduated from Revere High School in 1950. She worked at the Boulevard Theatre on Revere Beach in the concession stand and met her future husband and usher, Vito Malfitano. She went on to work as a switchboard operator for New England Telephone & Telegraph company in Revere. After raising her children, she returned to work at Bailey’s Photography Studio as an office administrator before retiring. She loved everything about Revere Beach…living on the beach, walking along the beach and collecting antique Revere Beach postcards, pictures and memorabilia. She loved spending time with family and loved ones. Sally spent hours on the phone with her sister Jean in Florida, both while watching the Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay.

She was a devoted mother of Stephen Malfitano and his late wife Karen of AZ, Sharon Sievers of AZ, and James Malfitano and his wife Sally of Newburyport. Adored grandmother of Stephen J., Jason and his wife Nekkel, and Kelsey Malfitano, and Katrina Chavira, Gabriella Sievers, Nicky Love and his wife Kristi, Danielle Bessen and her husband Jeff. Cherished great grandmother of Eric, Cassandra, James and Drew. Dear sister of the late George Foley and Jean Newsham. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
