Carol A. Smaldone, 69

Carol Ann (Feeley) Smaldone of Belmont, formerly of Beachmont, Revere, Massachusetts, passed away on July 17, at 69 years of age.

Carol was born and raised in the Beachmont section of Revere and was the daughter of John and Rose (DiMartino) Feeley. She attended local schools and was a graduate of Revere High School, class of 1974. After marrying Arthur H. Smaldone Jr. in 1976, they remained in Beachmont, where they raised their family. Carol was a devoted wife and mother, and she also held a career with Eagle Freight in Chelsea, where she worked as an import officer for over 18 years. She retired in 2017.

Carol’s nurturing nature inspired her to be the epitome of being a mother and a hostess. She loved to be surrounded by her family and friends. The door to her home was always open and everyone was always welcome to come to enjoy a good meal and conversation. Carol loved to cook, and she expressed her love through her amazing dishes. Family was paramount to her, and she kept close contact with her children, grandchildren and brothers and sisters.

Carol loved spending time at the beach and she and her husband loved to travel together. For several years they enjoyed spending the winter months together in Florida. Carol and her husband relocated to New Hampshire five years ago, and although they enjoyed the quieter and serene atmosphere, Carol’s heart always remained with her hometown of Beachmont.

She is the beloved wife of 48.5 years to Arthur H. Smaldone Jr. of Belmont; devoted mother of Lauren Rose Smaldone and her wife Courtney of Rochester, and Carla Ann DiPesa and her husband Christopher of Danvers; cherished grandmother of Jax Arthur DiPesa and Olivia Jean DiPesa; dear sister of Amelia “Molly” Feeley, John Feeley, Thomas Feeley, Eleanor Thomas and the late Catherine Rose Campbell.
