Mariannina "Maria" Trodella

Mariannina "Maria" (Iannino) Trodella , 94, of Everett, passed away peacefully at home on October 21, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late Ercole Trodella, with whom she shared 49 cherished years of marriage.

Born on February 2, 1931, in Lapio, Italy, Maria was the daughter of the late Carolina Filadoro and Vincenzo Iannino. She immigrated to the United States in 1971 and was a proud and devoted Catholic, often attending daily Mass at St. Anthony’s in Everett. Maria worked for over 20 years at Teddie Peanut Butter and took great pride in her work.

She found joy in gardening and especially in cooking for her family. Her home was filled with the warmth of tradition, particularly during the holidays when she lovingly prepared homemade zeppole at Christmas and her signature fusilli pasta.

Maria was a devoted mother to Anna and her husband Aldo of Arlington, and Vincent and his wife Michelle of Woburn. She is survived by her sisters, Rosa of Italy and Linda of Stoneham, and her sister in law, Pasqualina Costanza of Italy. She was predeceased by her brother Bernardo, also of Italy.

She was a cherished grandmother to Carmela and her husband Dan, Patty and her husband Matthew, Rocco and his wife Jena, Nicolas, and Gabrielle. Maria's legacy continues through her seven great-grandchildren: Marissa, Matthew, Joseph, Michael, Valentina, Rocco, and Talia.

Maria's life was a testament to faith, family, and tradition. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.  May she rest in the sweetest peace and continue to watch over her family from above. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
