Noreen A. “Nora” Iacovino

Noreen (Butler) Iacovino died peacefully on January 21, 2020 surrounded by her loving family.

Noreen grew up in Dorchester with her two sisters, Mary and Eileen and her cousins Patsy, Eileen, and Ambrose. Her mother immigrated from Ireland and took care of the six children until her passing. The  sisters and cousins stayed close and developed a passion for Ireland, visiting the “old country” many times. When Noreen was a young woman she met Domenic Iacovino. Noreen and Dom were a match made in heaven, marrying and moving to Houghs Neck, Quincy to raise their family. They had a wonderful life, opening their doors to all of their childrens’ friends. Noreen could always be found cooking gourmet meals, inviting friends and neighbors over for dinner. Noreen was everyone’s friend. She loved the beach and spent many summer days at the beach with her children. Noreen was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother. Her passion was her family. She hosted all of the holidays so that everyone could partake in the joy. Every holiday was an event at the Iacovinos’ house. They would cook for days preparing for the elaborate meals. Music was always playing in their home. Noreen and Dom spent their summers at Lake Winnipesaukee surrounded by many nieces and nephews. Noreen was devoted to her family and she was a faithful friend. She enjoyed  her life with Domenic until he passed away. They were married 60 years.
