Rose (Capobianco) Pagliarini

Rose (Capobianco) Pagliarini, a longtime resident of Malden, passed away on Friday, July 5, 2024, at the age of 95. Rose was born in Gaeta, Italy, in 1929, the daughter of Cosmo and Antoinetta Capobianco. She was raised and educated in Italy, and at the age of 16 when WWII ended, the family moved to America. The family first settled down in Somerville. When Rose arrived, she took employment at a shoe factory. It was there she met her sweetheart, Salvatore Pagliarini. They were married in 1955, and settled down to raise their family. They shared over 60 years of marriage together until Sal’s passing in 2016. As the children grew, she worked as a seamstress. She later took a position at Bank of America as an Adjuster. She retired from the Bank after working there for many years at the age of 62. In 1988, the family moved to Malden. A devoted Catholic, she joined St. Josephs Parish in Maplewood, and became part of the Church’s community.
