Affectionately known as Babs to those who knew her best, passed away peacefully on November 21, 2024. Born on October 13, 1932, in Boston, MA, survived by her loving sister Lee Restaino of Saugus, nephew Robert Restaino and wife Diane of Saugus, nephew Gary Restaino of Florida, loving family Betsy Solerno of Georgia, JoAnne Franzini of Pennsylvania and Camelia Gomez of Florida. Barbara spent her life in the vibrant community of Revere, Massachusetts. The daughter of George and Elvira Aldorisio, she was an unforgettable presence whose zest for life was infectious. As Ralph Waldo Emerson so eloquently said, “To know even one life, one has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded,” and succeed aunt Barbara did. Babs was a proud resident of Revere, a woman of remarkable resilience and strength. Her life’s work was as a shoe worker at LB Evans, a role she embraced with passion and dedication. Her craftsmanship was not just a profession but an art, a celebration of the human spirit’s determination to create. She brought joy and comfort into people’s lives when talking about baseball, a good card game on a Friday evening at the kitchen table or a trip to a Florida beach with Keith’s kids. Aunt Barb was even selected to be a professional softball player back in her day. She was always open and visible to all, as on the rear of her many new cars was that License plate which read BABS. Aunt Barb lived her life to the fullest, a life that was beautifully authentic and uniquely hers. She was never married, choosing instead to devote herself and her generosity fully to her family, grand and great nieces, grand and great nephews, friends, her dog Buddy and the enjoyment of times celebrating holidays with cousins and yes, a little time at the local casino as well. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, George and Elvira Aldorisio, loving brother-in-law Victor Restaino, her nephew Keith Restaino, grandnephews Christopher Restaino, Vic Restaino and numerous loving cousins who will certainly welcome her into heaven. A celebration of life ceremony will be held at a later date. Details to follow.
