Antonetta J. Guglielmo, 100, formerly of Mauran Avenue, East Providence passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Sunday, September 1, 2024. She was the beloved wife of the late Alfonso Guglielmo and beloved mother to 5 children.

Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Antonio and Concetta (Regna) DeChristofaro.

She is survived by her children, Sharon Rogers and her husband Richard of Johnston, June Palumbo and her husband Alan of Seekonk, Deborah Guglielmo and her husband Jack Moan of West Greenwich, Alfonso Guglielmo, Jr. and his wife Jennifer of New York and Russell Guglielmo and his wife Leslie of Seekonk, eight grandchildren, Tabitha, Kyle, Tim, Erin, Ian, Roman, Arianna and Grace and nine great-grandchildren, Gabriella, Gloria, Sam, Angelo, Lennon, Stella, Giovanni, MacKenna and Isla. She was the grandmother of the late TC Rogers and sister of the late Viola Kohanski, Rose DiMascio, Sabino DeChristofaro, Fred DeChristofaro and Angelo DeChristofaro.

Antonetta was a second generation Italian, born into a close-knit, hard-working family and grew up in Providence. For over 30 years, Antonetta and her husband Alfonso owned and operated the former Town Sweet Shop Bakery and Al's Coffee Shop in East Providence.

One of her greatest joys was to gather her family together for Sunday dinner, share her amazing Italian cooking and create wonderful memories. Her home was always warm and welcoming and the place where everyone gathered together for holidays and celebrations. Antonetta also loved her dogs and cats, and all of the many other pets that she fostered and rescued during her lifetime. In her leisure time, she enjoyed golfing, bowling, dancing and gardening. She also enjoyed all sports but was a true die-hard Boston Red Sox fan. She was a communicant of Our Lady of Loreto Church.

Relatives and friends are kindly invited to a Mass of Christian Burial on Friday, September 6, 2024 at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Loreto Church, 346 Waterman Avenue, East Providence. Burial will be in St. Ann Cemetery, Cranston.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Mrs. Guglielmo's memory may be made to Save One Soul Animal Rescue League in Wakefield, Rhode Island.
