Carmela M. (Lucia) D'Agostino, age 94, of Medford passed away on Friday, March 4, at Sawtelle Hospice House of Reading. Born in Boston, she was the daughter of the late Ralph and Angelina (Limongelli) Lucia. Carmela lived in Medford since second grade when her family moved here from the North End.
Carmela never said an unkind word and always found the good in everyone. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, but especially cherished her role as great grandmother, often bragging about her two great granddaughters. Carmela was a self-taught artist, and when not cooking and cleaning for her family, she loved to paint.
Carmela was the beloved wife of the late Louis D’Agostino, and the devoted mother of Antoinette Rosselle of Medford. She was the loving grandmother of Paul F. Rosselle Jr. and his wife Joni of Medford, and the late Camille Rosselle. Carmela was the loving great grandmother of Brooke and Madison Rosselle, and was the dear sister of the late Frank Lucia, Anthony Lucia, Rose Distefano and Albina Cain. She is survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
A funeral service will be conducted in the Dello Russo Funeral Home, 306 Main St., Medford on Thursday, March 10, at 12 noon. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend and may visit with family from 10 AM through noon. Services will conclude with burial at Oak Grove Cemetery, Medford.
