Catinazzo, Christine (Mingolla) of Revere passed away surrounded by her loving family on July 10, 2025, at the age of 80. Born in Cambridge on April 8, 1945, to the late Thomas Mingolla and Phyliss (Maniscalco). Beloved wife of 59 years to the late Robert Catinazzo Sr. She was a woman of remarkable spirit and an embodiment of love, warmth, and resilience.
Christine's infectious spirit and her passion for life were evident in her various pursuits. She was employed in a school cafeteria for the Revere Public School Department, a job she loved because of the interaction with children it involved. Her pastimes included playing bingo, enjoying the occasional weekend at the casino, and taking trips to Aruba. She had a special affection for Christmas Eve, which she loved to host and cook for, spreading cheer and creating lasting memories.
She was a beacon of support for her family and friends, and her thoughtful ways touched the lives of many. Christine was a devoted mother to Robert “Bobby” Catinazzo Jr. and his wife Caroline of Saugus, Diane Catinazzo-Lezenski of Revere, and Tom Catinazzo and his wife Kristina of Lynnfield. Cherished grandmother of Kristina, Cameron, Sophia, and Lila. Dear sister of Phyliss Larsen and her husband James of NV, and the late Joanne Mingolla. Also survived by loving nieces, nephews, and cousins. Her life was a testament to the adage that "the love of a family is life's greatest blessing," which she treasured deeply. Her love for her family, especially her grandkids, was her guiding light and her utmost joy. Her legacy of love, support, and thoughtfulness will continue through the lives of her family and friends.
