While dedicating most of her time to her husband and their family, she did work as a stitcher and assembler at Coverall Covers in Worcester.  She was a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and was loyal to Santo Beato Angelo D’Acri.  She was truly devoted to her family, especially her grandchildren, and loved to be surrounded by their love. Raffaella loved to cook for her family and friends, she enjoyed a good day of shopping at Filene’s or Christmas Tree Shop, a day at Misquamicut Beach, or dancing and laughing with friends while visiting.  She was a kind, delightful and loving lady with a smile that was infectious; who will be remembered and cherished by her family.

Due to current Federal and State guidelines, funeral services will be private.  There will be a Memorial Service at a later date.

Please offer condolences to the family via the funeral home website, a telephone or facetime call, or by sending a card letting the family know you are thinking of them and Raffaella.

The family has asked MERCADANTE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL to assist them with arrangements.
