Mary LoRusso

Homemaker, Activist and Realty Proprietor

Mary (Sciola) LoRusso of North Everett died on January 16 at Bear Hill Nursing Home in Stoneham. She was 84 years old.

She was born in Orsogna, Abruzza, Italy, October 10, 1925, high on the Apennine mountain range near the Adriatic Sea. In 1934, she and her mother traveled from Naples, Italy on the cruise ship, Rex, the fastest and most luxurious liner of the day to the United States. Arriving in New York City, they stayed briefly meeting her father there and later the family traveled to Boston’s North End.

In 1941, the family moved to North Everett into their own home. In 1942 she graduated from Michael Angelo High School and then worked in the Boston area as a seamstress. She had many suitors and eventually married in June of 1945 to a highly decorated aviator, Mr. John LoRusso, who had returned home from the European air war. After honeymooning in Northern New England, the couple was transferred to the US Army Air Corp base at Sioux Falls, South Dakota for eventual departure to the west coast. However, with VJ Day, in September of 1945 and the end of World War II, they returned back east settling in Boston’s West End.

The couple began family life, raising three sons. Later, they acquired land to build their own brick cobblestone ranch in 1954 in North Everett, which was personally planned and designed by Mrs. LoRosso. Gradually, over time, several realty properties were acquired and managed successfully. She also became involved in community organizations such as St. Therese Ladies Sodality, Catholic Charities, My Brother’s Table, and the Salvation Army. At Everett’s Seniors Club, she was active in elder affairs, a member of the Everett/Malden Orsogna Club she was involved with immigrant concerns, at the Schiavo Club she organized travel ventures around the country, and with the Melrose VFW Armory Post, she was an advocate for disabled veterans.

In her younger days she enjoyed traveling around North America and Europe. She was fond of dining, music, culinary arts, gardening, family, and faith. Her motto was do good, be charitable, have empathy.

She was the beloved wife for 53 years to the late John A. LoRusso; dearest mother of Joseph A. LoRusso of Stoneham, Richard J. LoRusso and his wife, Jo Anne, of New Orleans, LA, John A. LoRusso and his wife, Camille, of Dracut; cherished grandmother of Dina Overland and her husband, Dean, and Kathryn LoRusso, all of Metairie, LA; loving sister of Anthony "Tony" Sciola and his wife, Charlotte, of Wenham, and Luciano "Sonny" Sciola and his wife, Grace, of Saugus.
