Ann (Luongo) DiFlumeri

With great sorrow and bittersweet gratitude, Andrea, Carla, Richelle and Vanessa DiFlumeri, Richard Butler, Nicholas and Amelia Aburn, along with spouses, Bud Simmons, Clarke Aburn, Jessie Butler and Jake Wiseman, announce the unexpected passing of our kind, unimaginably caring mother and grandmother, Ann DiFlumeri, on August 30, 2023.

Ann was predeceased by her parents, Nicholas and Raffaela (Annese) Luongo, her sister, Edie (Luongo) Inello, her brother Joseph Luongo and her loving husband of 65 years, Richard, She is survived by her sister, Phyllis (Luongo) Chinappi and many nieces and nephews.

Having been brought up in East Boston with a deep sense of community, Ann had an immeasurable understanding of trust and family. At age 19, she knew she would dedicate her life to being the most remarkable and wonderful mother. Ann excelled at motherhood and was the foundation of our family in every way. She always knew exactly what to say, how to make each of us feel uniquely loved, never missed a special date and always underlined every word of every card she ever sent.

Ann was beautiful, brilliant and talented. She had a passion for writing, publishing articles, composing poems, creating cherished novels as gifts to her daughters and a children’s book for her grandchildren.

Our hearts are broken. But we know her unwavering faith and spirituality has peacefully led her to reunite and rejoice with the family and friends she dearly loves who have gone before her.

We will hug her in our souls and know we have a very special angel watching over us every day.

Family and friends are cordially invited to attend the visitation from the funeral home on Saturday, September 2, 2023 from 9:30 to 11:30 AM followed by a funeral mass in St. John the Evangelist Church 320 Winthrop St., Winthrop at 12:00 PM. Services will conclude with the entombment in the Woodlawn Mausoleum in Everett.

In lieu of flowers, Ann would love for you to make a contribution in her memory to The Wounded Warrier Project, 4899 Belfort Road, Suite 300, Jacksonville, Florida 32256 or go to www.support.woundedwarriorproject.org.
