Evelyn Iannuccillo, age 92, of 86 Observatory Avenue, North Providence, RI, died on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 as the result of a massive stroke at Home and Hospice Care in Providence. She was a retired Executive Assistant for Textron in Providence.

Evelyn was never married and had no children. She was born in Providence, Rhode Island on May 7, 1922 to Giuseppe and Amelia (Salzillo) Iannuccillo. Evelyn was an excellent caregiver to her mother on Academy Avenue and Sharon Street until her mother’s death. Following her mother’s death, Evelyn moved to her brother, Anthony’s, residence on Observatory Avenue where she was a devoted sister and excellent homemaker until her death.

Evelyn was employed for many years as an Executive Secretary at City Hall Hardware for the Siegel family. Following her employment with the Siegel’s, Evelyn enjoyed a career as the personal assistant to Edward O. Handy, Jr., the Vice President and Secretary of Textron, Inc. In Evelyn’s words, “He was the best boss ever…” In addition to caring for her mother and forging her career, she was very involved with her community and donated her time to various local charities, including the Senior Center in East Providence and the Salvation Army, 504 Central Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02861.

Evelyn is survived by one brother, Anthony G. Iannuccillo, Esq. of Observatory Avenue; her only nephew, whom she treated like the son she never had, Brett M. Iannuccillo, MD. of Lighthouse Point, Florida; her cousin and close friend, Pauline (Longo) Denning, of Warwick, Rhode Island; her first cousin, Edmund Di Iorio and many other cousins and friends she made along the way.

A Mass will be held for Evelyn at the chapel in Fatima Hospital on November 3, 2014 at Noon. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Salvation Army of Pawtucket; one of the benefactors of Evelyn’s volunteer work.
