Of Saugus formerly of East Boston. Passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Thursday May 11, 2023. Born in Boston on October 25, 1930 to the late Louis and Mary (Paolini) Daddieco. Dorothy was very proud of her lifetime on Lexington, Saratoga and Princeton Streets in East Boston. Dorothy left her beloved East Boston roots at age 84 and adapted perfectly to her youngest daughter Mia’s loving home.

   Spending most of her life as an East Boston resident, in 2015, she moved to the Moran home in Saugus MA, where she received love, care, and security for 8 wonderful years. Even with impending health challenges, she thrived under Mia, Louie, Zackary and Cooper Moran’s watchful eyes.

   Dorothy’s good health and happiness were a direct result of the Moran family’s unconditional love, dedication and constant care enabling the family to enjoy many more precious years with her. She was the beloved wife of 65 years to the late John R. Arcadipane. Devoted mother of Donna DeVito and her husband Dr. Louis DeVito Jr., Andrew J.
