Geraldine Vetrano Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 19, 2025.
A lifelong resident of Everett, Geraldine "Gerri" Vetrano passed away peacefully on May 13, 2025, at the age of 96.

Gerri was the devoted mother of Debbie Paglucca and her late husband Michael, and Dennis Vetrano and his wife Christine. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Michael, Danielle, Corey, and Ryan. Gerri was the former wife of the late Armando Vetrano, and she is survived by many cherished nieces, nephews, and cousins who will remember her with love and admiration.

She spent many years working as a dedicated bookkeeper at Merchants Tire in Everett. Known for her sharp mind and strong work ethic, Gerri made lasting friendships during her career.

A passionate sports fan, Gerri especially loved watching the Boston Red Sox-her all-time favorite team. In her younger years, she was an avid bowler and enjoyed participating in several local bowling leagues.

Later in life, one of Gerri's greatest joys was visiting the casino to play the slots. The arrival of Encore in Everett was a dream come true for her, and she delighted in the excitement and energy of the games.

Gerri also had a great love for cooking and shopping, but nothing brought her more happiness than spending time with her beloved family. She was known for her warmth, her hearty meals, and her unwavering love for those close to her.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Gerri's memory may be made to the original "Father Flanagan's Boys Town." 14100 Crawford Street Boys Town , NE. 68010

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.
