DANVERS - Mrs. Annmarie E. (Esposito) DiBella, 84, of Danvers, formerly of Medford and Saugus, passed away peacefully on Saturday morning, surrounded by her loving family, at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers. She was the devoted wife of Luigi "Lou" S. DiBella, with whom she shared 59 wonderful years of marriage.
Born and raised in Medford, Annmarie was the daughter of the late Frederick and Mary (Cappello) Esposito. She began her career as a hairstylist in Belmont before spending many years working at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Annmarie was a proud member of the Bill Fowler Dance Studio in Medford, where she loved performing tap and jazz on stage. Her love of dance reflected her joyful spirit and the energy she brought to every part of her life.
Above all else, Annmarie cherished time with her family. She found her greatest happiness in being a wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, and especially loved doting on her five granddaughters, who brought endless light to her life.
She is survived by her loving husband, Lou; her two sons, Ken and his wife Elizabeth, and Aaron and his wife Susan; and her beloved granddaughters; Chloe, Kaitlyn, Gianna, Hailey, and Genevieve. She also leaves her dear sisters, Janet and Patricia, along with many cherished nieces, nephews, and extended family who will remember her warmth, grace, and kindness always.
In lieu of flowers donations in her memory may be made to nonprofit horseback riding charities; hiddenpondequinerescue.org/donate or neernorth.org/make-a-donation-2.
