Bevivino, Emilia M.

Emilia Marie (Tortora) Bevivino, 92, died peacefully on July 4, 2011, at her residence of six years, Sunrise Senior Living of Norwood.

Born and raised in New York City, she was the daughter of the late Ralph and Rose (Malgieri) Tortora and the sister of the late Frank P. Tortora, DDS, also of New York.

After completing her education, she was employed in management positions by the U.S. War Department and in her father’s factory in the New York City garment industry.

She was the beloved wife of the late Bruno J. Bevivino, MD, a family practitioner, and together they moved to Massachusetts in 1950 and made their home in the Dedham and Westwood area. She is survived by her two sons, Jack R. Bevivino, MD, and his wife, Constance, of East Greenwich, RI, and Ralph E. Bevivino, MD, and his wife, Nancy, of Canton; and by her daughter, Eileen I. Bevivino-Lawton of Plymouth. She was the grandmother of Caren M. Bevivino of Boston and Eric-Michael Bevivino of Canton. She will be remembered by her dear cousin, Lucille Betro of Walpole, and by her nieces and nephews.

A visiting hour and blessing was held Friday, July 8, at the Dockray and Thomas Funeral Home, followed by a private interment at Blue Hill Cemetery in Braintree. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Emily’s name to the Physicians for Peace Fund, an organization that works to increase the medical capabilities for underserved nations, or to VistaCare Hospice.
