On April 11, 2023 Nancy "Nannie" (Cimino) DiCecca got her wings and went to walk with the angels. She was 90 years young.

Nancy was born on April 27, 1932 to Rocco and Frances (Fasulo) Cimino in Chelsea, MA. She was pre deceased by her 8 brothers and 3 sisters and survived by 2 sisters-in-law. Nancy was the devoted wife of the late Frank J. DiCecca, Sr and the loving mother of 3 sons. Michael J. DiCecca Sr and his wife Cathy of Plymouth, MA, Joseph J. DiCecca and his wife Patricia of Fredericksburg, VA, and Frank J. DiCecca Jr and his wife Karen of Malden, MA. Nannie also leaves behind many grandchildren; Marissa Brunelle and her husband Randy, Michael DiCecca Jr and his fiancee Natalia Castaneda, Jacqueline DiCecca and her fiance Kevin Davenport, Anthony DiCecca and his fiancee Corinne Sperry, and Nicholas DiCecca, along with great-grandchildren Mackenzie, Joshua, Jamison and Dominic Brunelle, Alivia and Brian Davenport, and Kennedy and Lincoln DiCecca. In addition, Nancy is survived by many nieces, nephews and friends.

The only thing that rivaled Nannie's love for all her babies was her love of cooking and baking for them. Her greatest joy was feeding those she loved. Nancy was known for her homemade ravioli and Italian cookies.
