Mrs. Mildred Elizabeth "Betty" (Bruning) Vincent, a cherished resident of
Revere, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2026, at the remarkable age of 99. Born on June 17, 1926, in
Medford, Massachusetts, she lived a long and fulfilling life marked by dedication to her family, friends, and community.
Mildred's professional journey was one of hard work and accomplishment. She retired as a receptionist from the Gaulin Corporation after more than 25 years of service. Earlier in her career, she held leadership roles in the hospitality industry, serving as head of housekeeping at the Charter House in Lynn, Massachusetts. When the hotel transitioned to the Harbor House, she took on the role of assistant manager, showcasing her adaptability and commitment to excellence.
Known affectionately as Millie or Betty by those close to her, Mildred found joy in spending time with friends and family and caring for her beloved cats. She had a passion for dining out and relished savoring her signature whiskey and water while engaging in lively conversations. Her love for travel brought her many adventures with friends from work and members of the Revere Moose Lodge, where she formed lasting bonds.
Mildred was predeceased by her husband Gilbert "Vinny" Vincent; her son Danny (Douglas) Vincent; her son-in-law Ronald O'Connor; and her grandson John O'Connor. Despite these losses, she remained a pillar of strength for her family.
She is survived by her loving children: Richard Vincent and his wife RoseLee; Georganne O'Connor; and Bethanne Cardarelli and her husband Joseph. Mildred also leaves behind a legacy through her grandchildren: Scott Vincent and his wife Tammy; Wendy Fox and her partner Gina; Chad Vincent and his wife Lori; Robin Ginsberg and her husband Bruce; Heather Kent and her husband Shane; Noelle Cardarelli and her wife Kerri; and Joseph Cardarelli and his fiancée Gianna. Her great-grandchildren-Hallie, Max, Ben, Sam, Z, Brooke, Sadie, Drew, and Blake-will carry forward memories of their beloved great-grandmother. Additionally, Mildred is survived by many cousins with whom she shared special connections, particularly those from New Hampshire.
Mildred's warmth extended beyond family to all who knew her. Her vibrant spirit will be remembered fondly by those whose lives she touched. May her memory bring comfort to all who mourn this extraordinary woman who lived nearly a century with grace and vitality.
