ACCURISA MARINELLI
AGE 93 YEARS

Accurisa "Gussie" (Sclafani) Marinelli "You're Someone Special" We are saddened to announce the passing of Accursia "Gussie" Marinelli on November 15, 2020. A daughter of the late Simone Sclafani and Maria (DiLeo), in Boston's North End. She was predeceased in death by all her siblings, the late Pasquale Sclafani of Watertown, MA, Lillian Vitale of Everett, MA, Nina Rizza of Manchester, CT, Anthony Sclafani of Everett, MA, Michael Sclafani of Peabody, MA, and Rosario "Sal"Sclafani of Everett, MA. Beloved wife of the late Gelardo "Charlie" Marinelli, who she met when she moved into his building on Margaret St. in the North End when she was a young teenager and he was in the service. Years later, they married on December 13, 1952 and had their children.

Beloved mother of Anthony Marinelli and his late wife Constance of Kingston, MA; daughter, Jean McDonald and her husband of Kissimmee, FL; son, Samuel Marinelli and his wife of Byfield MA; and daughter, Maria Marinello. She also leaves behind grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews and DiLeo cousins.

Here is what encapsulates her essence as "You're Some Special" - You have a way of remembering the little things that matter most. A way of bringing out the best in others with your smile and kindness. A way of really listening and understanding and letting people know you care about how they feel. That's why you mean so much to so many people." This was one of her last birthday cards sent to her by her much loved niece.

She will be interned with her husband at Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett, MA at a private burial.
