Obituary: Ann M. Percoco

Ann M. Percoco, 93

Ann M. (DeVasto) Percoco, of Hull, died peacefully on Sept. 10 at the South Shore Hospital in Weymouth. She was 93.

Born in Somerville on Aug. 24, 1928, she was the daughter of the late Alphonse Gus and Mary (Palumbo) DeVasto and attended local schools. A homemaker, she was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Family was very important to her, and there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for the people she cared for.

Ann was the beloved wife of the late Stephen L. Percoco, who died in 2013. The two shared 66 loving years of marriage. She was the devoted mother of Jane M. Walsh and her husband, Ken, of Hull, and the loving grandmother of Lauren A. Walsh, of Burlington, Vt., and Hull, and Alison S. Walsh, of Manchester, N.H., and Hull. She is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. She was preceded in death by her siblings: Mary and Carmella Percoco, Helen Riccio, Cosmo, Frank, and Pat DeVasto. 

Relatives and friends are invited to greet the family during the visiting hours on Thursday, Sept. 16, from 9-10:30 a.m., in the Pyne Keohane Funeral Home, 21 Emerald St. (off Central Street), Hingham. A celebration of life service will be held in the funeral home prior to the funeral Mass at St. Mary’s Parish in St. Ann’s Church, Hull, at 11 a.m. Services will conclude with interment in St. Paul’s Cemetery, Hingham.
