Obituary: Bruno Sestito

Bruno Sestito, 89 
Bruno Sestito, of Hull and formerly of Hingham and Palermiti, Italy, died peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Jan. 2 at the South Shore Hospital in Weymouth. He was 89. 
Born in Palermiti, Itialy, Bruno was the son of the late Domenico and Elisabetta (Iannino) Sestito. He was educated in local Italian schools. 
Bruno was a cobbler and shoemaker his entire life. He learned the profession from his father as a small boy. His father owned a family shop in Italy and served the local community. Using the skills his father taught him, Bruno became an established cobbler. The “shoemaker for the stars,” he made shoes for Wilt Chamberlain, among others. Although h retired in 1995, he never stopped making shoes. He was always happy to help people when they came to him for assistance. 
In his spare time, Bruno loved to travel. He traveled to 36 out of the 50 United States and regularly visited Italy, his favorite place of all his travels. He also enjoyed working in his yard. He was a well-dressed man and always wore a suit. Even when he would work in his yard, he would still be wearing his dress shirt, tie, and trousers. He was also known for making and bottling wine for family and friends.
Bruno was a former member of the Hingham Sons of Italy. But the most important part of his life was spending time with his family and, in particular, his grandchildren. They were what gave him the most enjoyment in his life, and he was proud of the people they grew into. 
Bruno was a disciplined, loyal, hardworking, and passionate person. He had a great sense of humor and would do anything for the people in his life. His loving demeanor and kindness are part of his legacy that continues through his children and grandchildren. He will be missed by all the lives he touched. 
Bruno was the former husband of Armida (“Mimi”) Sestito and the devoted father of Domenico Sestito and his wife, Deborah, and Lodovico B. Sestito and his wife, Lisa, all of Hull. He was the loving grandfather of William Nolan, Rocco Sestito, Marco Sestito, Camden Ciulla, Hudson Ciulla-Sestito, Boden Ciulla-Sestito, and Harrison Ciulla-Sestito, all of Hull. He was the dear brother of Antonio Sestito and his wife, Marieanne, of Hingham, the late Elisabetta Barbuto, and the late Caterina Sestito. He was a cherished uncle of Marissa Sestito, of Hingham, and Antonio Sestito Jr. and his wife, Katie, of Middleborough, and a cherished great-uncle of Thomas Massey and Patrick Massey, both of Hingham.

Obituary: Barbara J. Josselyn

Barbara J. Josselyn, 89 
Barbara J. (Farley) Josselyn, of Hull, died peacefully on Saturday, Dec. 21. She was 89.  
Born in St. Jean, Quebec, Canada, she was the only daughter of the late Allen Kirkland Henry Farley and Marjorie Julia (Bell). She was raised and educated in Quebec and worked for many years for the Hull School Department.
Barbara loved music and dancing. In fact, she met her husband while they were both on vacation for July 4th in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. After three days of dancing the nights away on the pier, Gilbert proposed. They were married 11 months later. She moved to the states, and the couple spent 60 years together. 
Barbara loved children, so that made it easy for her to love her job as a cafeteria worker. She also worked at the emergency shelter at the Memorial Middle School during the Blizzard of 1978. 
She loved hosting family dinners, baking, playing cards, crossword puzzles, watching the Little League World Series and “The Price is Right.” She also enjoyed traveling, especially cruises. And she loved knitting; she made many slippers, afghans, beautifully themed sweaters; and the traditional Christmas stockings for her family. 
Barbara loved many things, but there was no greater love than her love for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The beloved wife of the late Gilbert Channing Josselyn, she was the devoted mother of Charlene Josselyn, of Stoughton; Peter Josselyn and his wife, Tresa, of Michigan; Nancy Sullivan and her husband, Charlie, of Hull; and Richard Josselyn and his wife, Tara, of Brockton. She was the proud grandmother of 16 grandchildren and great-grandmother of 10 great-grandchildren.

Obituary: Marie I. Bradley

Marie I. Bradley, 59
Marie I. (Mitchell) Bradley, of Hull, died unexpectedly on Dec. 14. She was 59. 
She was the beloved mother of Joseph Mitchell Bradley, of Hanover, and the cherished daughter of William (“Bill”)  Mitchell, of Hull, and the late Irene (Dunphy) Mitchell. 
She was the loving sister of Betty Ann Doherty and her husband, Wayne, of Whitman; Kathy Mitchell and Jack Mitchell and his wife, Leigh, all of Scituate; and the late Peggy Rand and her husband, George Rand, of Hull. Marie is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins, and she leaves her friend, Bill W.
Marie grew up in Hull Village among many close friends. She cherished spending time with her family, especially on the front porch of her family home. She enjoyed getting her hair and nails done, traveling, and spending time at the beach, as well as singing, dancing, and bringing true joy to everyone she met. She genuinely enjoyed moments of partying and celebrating the holidays with her family, especially Memorial Day in Hull.
Marie was a longtime employee of Delta Airlines and the Marriott Corp. While employed at Delta, she made many friends, including Mel Simmons, who eventually succumbed to breast cancer. To honor her and their friendship, Marie created the “Mel’s Bracelet Fundraiser,” which to date has raised millions of dollars. 
Marie was so proud to have been a part of AA and to have celebrated more than 25 years of sobriety, taking one day at a time. But what she loved most was being a mother to her son, “JoJo.” From the moment he was born, Marie took her role as a mom as the most important gift in her life. Spending time with her baby boy was her preference over anything else in the world.
Even after suffering a brain bleed and stroke 12 years ago, Marie still radiated light into the world through her faith, personality, laugh, and smile. She had a tremendous impact on every person she encountered and was grateful for every second of every day. Heaven has gained a very special angel and a lot more song and dance. We are so grateful for the gift of her life and want to continue her memory through acts of kindness, being grateful, sharing laughs, and helping those who need it most.
Visiting hours were held on Wednesday in the Pyne Keohane Funeral Home, 21 Emerald St. (off Central Street), Hingham. A Celebration of Life Service is to be held in the funeral home at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday prior to the funeral Mass in St. Mary’s of the Sacred Heart, 392 Hanover St., Hanover, at 10:30 a.m. 
A gofundme has been created in Marie’s memory to cover any remaining expenses, and the rest will go to her son so that he can experience the life she would have wanted for him. See www.Keohane.com or call 1-800-Keohane for directions and online condolences.

Nazzareno DiVito Jr., 90 
Nazzareno (“Nunzi”) DiVito Jr. passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Dec. 16. He was 90.
Nunzi was born in Cohasset in 1929 to Nazzareno Sr., of Castrovalva, Italy, and Georgina (Calvi) DiVito, of Hingham, and was the eldest of five children. A lifelong resident of Hull, he was a fixture in this seaside community. Growing up, he worked for his father’s construction company. After graduating from Wentworth Institute in Boston, he served in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged as corporal.  
After returning to work for his father, he was elected to the Hull Board of Assessors in 1962 and later also served as appointed full-time assessor for Duxbury and Hingham. Nunzi remained chairman of the Hull board after retirement until his passing. During his career, he also worked in maintaining several rental properties.  
Nunzi was an active member of the Hull Council Knights of Columbus (past Grand Knight) and St. Ann’s Church, where he served as an usher while his bride of 62 years, Barbara A. (Ware), sang in the choir.
Nunzi first met Barbara at a dance with mutual friends. Throughout the years, they continued to enjoy all types of lessons and dances, most recently weekly square dancing with the Hobomock Hoedowners. He also enjoyed traveling throughout the country for assessors’ conventions, maintaining his parents’ garden on Newport Road, and winemaking with the grapes that still grow there.  
Most of all, he enjoyed talking with anybody, whether he knew them or not. He would always make time to help others, whether it was at a local blood drive, a town celebration, a Knights function, scooping ice cream during the summer at Sunset Point Camp, or fixing someone’s car, heat, or house. He never forgot the people he met and leaves a legacy of kindness and generosity to an entire community of family and friends.
In addition to his beloved wife, Nunzi leaves his two sons, John L. DiVito and his wife, Donna (French), and Michael P. DiVito and his wife, Marie (Prestera), of Weymouth. He was the cherished grandpa of Ian Maguire and his wife, Caitlin; Christina DiVito and her husband, Hyungrae Kim; Annnalisa DiVito and her husband, Frank Gao; and Sara DiVito; and great-grandpa to Ellie Jean Maguire.  
He was the loving brother of Teresa and her husband, the late Vincent Cogliano; Virginia and her husband, John Orfao; and Joe DiVito and his companion, Rhonda Healey, all of Hull; his brother-in-law, Dr. Edward Jones, of South Carolina, and sister-in-law, Irene Duff (Ware), of Dorchester. He was predeceased by his sister Louise and her husband, Frank Marciano; his sister Mary Jones; and sister-in-law Lynda DiVito.  
Nunzi will be forever remembered by everyone who had the honor to meet him, including a large extended family of nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Loving sister of Ellen Laramee and her husband Ron of Plymouth and the late Gerry Doyle of Hull.  Cherished NeeNee of Blaise Belmarsh.  Best friend and dear companion to Bob Saville of Hull.

A single mother of two, she raised her children in Hull. She always worked multiple jobs to support her children. For over a decade, Debbie worked as a concierge in the maternity unit at South Shore Hospital, where she always greeted people with a smile and a joke!  She also worked for many years as a teacher’s assistant at South Shore Collaborative and in the Hull school system. Debbie brought humor to all her patrons when she worked at Schooner’s in Hull and the Old Mill Grill in Hingham.  
Deborah was politically active and served on the Hull School Committee for nine years and found time to teach CCD at St. Ann’s Church.  Always willing to help anyone in need, she will be remembered as someone who was funny, loving, selfless, and kind.
