Marie Elizabeth Sacco

Longtime head of real estate department at the law firm of Baron-Stadfeld in Boston

Marie Elizabeth Sacco of Winthrop passed away peacefully at Sterling Village on Saturday, Nov. 24 at the age of 72.

Marie was the daughter of the late Jerry Sacco and the late Tillie (DiPaoli) Sacco of Leominster. She is survived by her brother, Jerry Sacco and his wife, Barbara, her sister Sylvia Monteverde and her husband, Daniel, and her sister, Diane Dalton and her husband Tim. In addition, Marie leaves cherished cousins: Joanne St. Jean, Tina DiCioccio, Joseph Nostro and his wife, Nancy and a loving extended family, especially her beloved niece Julia Dalton.

Marie graduated from Suffolk University in Boston and went on to have a long career as the head of the real estate Department at the law firm of Baron-Stadfeld in Boston.

Marie valued education and her intelligence and curiosity fostered many interests including reading, especially mysteries, doing needlepoint, crochet and knitting, politics, travel, Frank Sinatra, writing, cooking, painting, crosswords, antiques, all things British and Italian, old movies, tennis and, of course, all the doings of family and friends.

We all benefited from Marie’s commonsense perspective, sharp wit, sound advice and her thoughtful generous spirit. She had the ability to connect with people on a deep level, quickly learning their stories and making her own strong impression. Marie loved to bestow gifts and did so often, and for no reason except to make life easier and happier for others. She is deeply loved and our lives are greatly diminished by her passing, but, thankfully, she leaves us with a wealth of memories of love, family and fun.

We would like to recognize Marie’s closest friends Pat Cipollone, Colleen Lokaj, and John Gay and his sister, Beth for their constant love and devotion. We would also like to thank the wonderful staffs of Massachusetts General Hospital, Sterling Village, especially the many CNA’s who worked very hard to keep Marie comfortable, and Trinity Hospice. They each, in their own way, provided Marie with sincere comfort and care when she needed it most. This has been greatly appreciated by both Marie and her family.

A visitation will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Silas F. Richardson & Son Funeral Home, 106 West St., Leominster. If desired, a donation of a children’s book to your local library in Marie’s name would be greatly appreciated. www.richardsonfuneralhome.net.

Hildegard ‘Hilda’ Coulter

Retired interior decorator

Hildegard ”Hilda” (Schlittmann) Coulter of Winthrop, formerly of Winchester, passed away at the age of 86 after a six-month illness.

She was born in Germany and lived through many hardships in Nazi Germany as a young girl. She came to America at the age of 21 and was very proud of her U.S. citizenship and America.

Hilda, a talented interior decorator, was the owner of a fabric and decorating store in Winchester, and then Star Drapery and Decorating in Winthrop until her retirement.  She had many clients and friends throughout her years through her business and within the business communities.

Hilda loved to cook and especially loved baking. She baked cookies and cakes and breads for family, friends, neighbors, and later her doctors and nurses.  It was a rare occasion if you did not leave her home with a loaf of banana bread and a big bag of her famous chocolate chip cookies. If you asked her the recipe she would say, “It’s on the back of the package of Tollhouse chips, but then I do add this and oh yes, I only use this or that….” with her Boston German accent, and we’d all laugh with her.

She was the loving mother of Silvia Coulter and husband, Jared Stansfield, Christine Hicks, and Charles Coulter and wife, Mary Hopkins Coulter; grandmother (“Oma”) to Crystal Coulter Conroy, Candice Coulter, Sarah Hicks and husband Mark Michaud, and Cameron Coulter; step grandsons, Aaron, Jesse and wife Allison, Nathan, and Joshua; and great grandmother to Jaycee, Holly Marie, Kylie, Ashlyn, and Matthew.

Family and friends are cordially invited to attend the visitation from the Caggiano-O’Maley-Frazier Funeral Home, Winthrop on Saturday, Dec. 1, from noon to 1 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life Service in the funeral home at 1 p.m.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Shriner’s Hospital in her loving memory at www.donate.lovetotherescue.org.
