Beverly A. Martorelli

Martorelli, Beverly (Palumbo) lifelong resident of Revere passed away on July 2, 2025, at the age of 88. Born on June 29, 1937, to the late Nicholas and Viola Palumbo. Devoted wife of 61 years to the late Robert D. Martorelli. Beverly was known for her fiery spirit and feisty personality that were as robust as the flavors she masterfully combined in her kitchen. Beverly’s devotion to her family was the cornerstone of her existence, and she expressed this love through her incredible culinary skills and her immaculate home.

Beverly's home was a reflection of her character - spotless, organized, and welcoming. Her dedication to maintaining a pristine house was legendary; the floors were so clean you could eat from them, and the laundry was always perfectly done. But it was in her kitchen where Beverly truly shone. She was renowned for her comforting dishes, from peas and pasta to vinegar, peppers, and eggs. Her gravy and meatballs were a particular delight, the secret to which she often said was, "Sauce is made with tomatoes; gravy is made with meat." Her love for cooking was not simply about the food; it was her unique way of nurturing and caring for those she loved.

Beverly was a devoted mother of Mark Martorelli of Revere, and the late Robert A. Martorelli. Caring mother-in-law to Christine Albano. Adored grandmother of Michael Martorelli and his wife Jacqueline and Matthew Martorelli. Dear sister of Nicholas Palumbo and his wife Marie of Stoneham. Cherished aunt of Elena and Anne. She will be remembered as a woman of strength, determination, and unwavering love.
