Anne Musmeci, at 90

Anne Musmeci passed away with her family lovingly at her side on January 1, 2025 at age 90.

Mrs. Musmeci was born and raised in Westwood and moved to Hull when she married. She lived the remaining almost 70 years of her long, lovely life here.

Mrs. Musmeci had a remarkable love of community. She gave her energy and time to many presidential and board member positions at Hull Girl Scouts, St. Mary’s Sodality, CCD, CYO, PTO, Point Allerton Association, and the Hull Yacht Club, and volunteered for more than 25 years at Wellspring, 15 years in St Mary’s choir, was a Hull Garden Club founder and past president, and 15-year coordinator of Boston’s Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl.

She was most proud of creating the “Daffodil Trail,” a nearly 30-year effort to beautify the town, bringing smiles of joy and hope of spring to Hull. She planted and sold more than 250,000 daffodil bulbs. The Town of Hull awarded Mrs. Musmeci with a special proclamation for her significant achievement in 2022.

Mrs. Musmeci was predeceased by her beloved husband of 46 years, Richard “Dick” Musmeci, and is survived by her loving daughters, Nancy Lee Darst and Karen Musmeci-Marriott; her adoring grandchildren, Annie Darst and Richard Darst and his wife Christina; her precious great-granddaughter Ellie James; her sister Elizabeth Galeota; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her two sons-in-law, Michael Darst and William Marriott.

Rest in peace, Dear Anne, you touched the lives of many. You will be missed, yet like the perennials you planted, never forgotten. They will continue to bloom in your honor each passing year.

“And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.”

A wake will be at St Ann’s Church on Saturday, January 25 at 8:30 a.m., followed by a funeral Mass at 9:30 a.m. Services will conclude with burial at Hull Village Cemetery.
