Assunta C. Deane, 98

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. —  

Mrs. Assunta C. (Grande) Deane, 98, of North Adams, died on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, at the Life Care Center in Jacksonville, Florida.

She was born in Amato, Italy on January 24, 1926, a daughter of the late Giuseppe and Amalia (Scerbo) Grande. She attended schools in North Adams.

She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend who especially loved children. She was a good listener, without judgement, and the best keeper of secrets. Family was important to her, and she especially enjoyed spending time with them in Heath, lovingly known as the camp. Her Italian cooking was everyone’s comfort food.

She is survived by her daughter, Felicia Moran of Waterbury, CT; her son, Stephen Deane of North Adams; her sister Marie Roy of Charlotte, NC; three grandchildren, Stephen Deane, Cierra Andrews and Stephanie Miller who lovingly cared for her grandmother in the last two years of her life; several great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her grandson Matthew Deane, by two brothers, Dominic and Pietro Grande and by three sisters, Filomena Demo, Elena Alcaro and Mafalda Musacchio.

A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, February 20th at 1:00 P.M. in Southview Cemetery, North Adams. Relatives and friends are invited.
