Rosemarie Sorrentino

It is with profound grief and a sense of loss that we announce the passing of Rosemarie "Chickie" (Falzone) Sorrentino. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 25, 1935, to the late Michael and Santa Falzone. She was the cherished wife of her dearly departed husband, Albert Sorrentino.

Chickie was a charismatic person who was loved by everyone who knew her. She was an active member of the Madonna Della Cava Society and had an exciting life with her husband, Al. They enjoyed going on trips to Las Vegas, spending winters in their home in Naples, Florida, and having late-night card games with friends from "Al's Toys" in The North End. You could also find her hanging out at Suffolk Downs, enjoying bus trips to Foxwoods with her pals or making homemade pizza, cookies, and meals for her family. Chickie was known for her unwavering devotion and generosity towards her loved ones. She was the life of the party, and her absence will surely be felt in all future celebrations.

Rosemarie is survived by her children, Vincent Conte and his wife Patricia from Marblehead, and Donna Conte and her husband Thomas Jacob from Peabody. She was a grandmother to Nicole Ranese and her husband Matthew from Beverly, Julie D'Arcy and her husband Quentin from Billerica, Ariana Conte and her fiance Zachary Anderson from New York City, and Eva Conte Gillis and her husband Liam from Marblehead. She is also survived by Anthony Belmonte, Spencer Jacob, Sera Jacob, and her great-grandchildren, Domenic Belmonte and Claudia Jacob. Her Goddaughter Sandra Prezioso and her husband Louie, Phillip and Gerry Vasapolli, Cathy Ciampi, Michael Vasapolli, and his companion Phyllis, Linda and Paul Lysiack, Carol Conte and her husband Michael Cusato, Lisa and Robert Shind, Henry and Richard Sorrentino and Albert Sorrentino III, along with many cherished extended family and close friends who will miss her dearly.

Rosemarie is predeceased by her sister Phyllis Vasapolli and her husband Joseph, Bessie Ferrante and her husband Richard, Sebastiana Falzone, and her first husband, Vincent Conte Senior.

The family is dedicating a bench in Christopher Columbus Park in The North End of Boston in memory of Chickie and Al Sorrentino’s joyful life. If you wish to contribute, please make a check payable to Vincent or Donna Conte.
