Sbuttoni, Carol Anne (Gioiosa) – lifelong resident of Medford, passed away at her home on May 10th. Cherished daughter of the late Arthur E. and Evelyn H. (Peterson) Gioiosa. Carol was predeceased by her husband Henry D. Sbuttoni. Devoted mother of Carla T. (Sbuttoni) Gillespie, and Gina T. (Sbuttoni) Schuurman. Loving Nana of Benjamin C. Gillespie, Heather T.

Carol began her young working years as a dental assistant for Dr. Capobianco in Medford. In her later years, she became a Certified Phlebotomist and spent the remainder of her working years at the beloved Malden Hospital with her work family. Given her love of antiques, Carol was a very active member in the Medford Historical Society and reigned as an officer there as well.

Carol was a lifelong parishioner of St. Francis Of Assisi Church in Medford. Everyone could always count on a prayer to St. Jude from her. Carol took great pride in decorating her church for every holiday. Along with Medford, she loved her little “slice of heaven” in Vermont.

Carol will be deeply missed by all who knew her. A memorial mass will be celebrated at a later date. In lieu of flowers contributions may be sent in Carol’s name to St. Francis Of Assisi Church, 441 Fellsway West, Medford, MA 02155 or to The Guiding Eyes for the Blind, 611 Granite Springs Road, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, 1-800-942-0149.
