It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Susan Mazzochia, a loving mother, nana, sister, aunt, and friend, who left us on March 7, 2025, at the age of 66.
Susan was born on December 25, 1958, in Everett, Massachusetts, to the late Robert Mazzochia and Catherine (Bryson) Mazzochia. She was the oldest of five children. Susan graduated from Pope John High School and went on to build a life centered around family, love, and laughter.
She is survived by her beloved son, James Lopez, and his partner Shannon, and was predeceased by her daughter, Maria Lopez. Susan was a proud nana to her cherished grandchildren, Gabriella and Camden, who brought her immense joy. She is also survived by her brothers, Robert (Pauline), Joe (Kathy), and sisters, Judy (Mike) and Lucia (Richie). Susan will be fondly remembered by her nieces Nichole, Lauren, Jenna, Leah, Gianna, and Gabriella, as well as nephews Joseph, Ryan, and Richie.
Susan was a devoted mother and a constant source of love, support, and strength to all who knew her. She filled her home with warmth and laughter and was happiest when surrounded by her family. Her deep bond with her grandchildren brought her so much joy, and her cat Mimi also held a special place in her heart.
A woman of incredible resilience, Susan faced life’s challenges with unwavering determination and a smile on her face. Her sharp wit, bold personality, and loving heart made her an irreplaceable presence in the lives of those she loved. No matter the circumstances, she had the uncanny ability to bring laughter to even the toughest of times, and she will be remembered for her strength, humor, and the way she made everyone around her feel special.
Though her passing came far too soon, we take comfort in knowing she is now reunited with her daughter, Maria. Together again, they are at peace, watching over James, Shannon, Gabriella, Camden, and the rest of the family, continuing to inspire us with their enduring love.
A memorial service will be held on March 16th, 2025, at Rocco Salvatore & Sons Funeral Home, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, where we will come together to honor and celebrate the remarkable woman she was.
Susan’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her laughter, strength, and love will forever be with us. Rest in peace, Mom. You will always be deeply missed and never forgotten.
